The new buzzwords in library programming are "maker programs." The philosophy behind the "maker movement" empowers people with the knowledge that they can create the things they want and need. Most programmers think high-tech, but the movement includes art, music, cooking, sewing, and any of the many other do-it-yourself skills. The suggestions in this book will help you make your existing programs into maker programs, and possibly attract nontraditional patrons to your library.
