N2 - Library makerspaces have transformed from novel concepts to vital resources for learning and creation. This entry explores their journey from early crafting circles to today׳s technology-rich hubs. It examines the theoretical foundations of makerspaces in constructivism, experiential learning, and knowledge creation. Practical considerations for implementation, including space, staffing, and accessibility, are addressed. The entry then analyzes assessment methods and explores emerging trends. This comprehensive overview is a resource for librarians and educators seeking to understand and leverage the power of makerspaces in libraries.
