PPL Gets Makerspace Grant

As an old Readymade subscriber and fan of the Maker movement, I was excited to see that the Plainfield Public Library is the only library in Union County to receive a "Makerspace" grant. See more here.

Libraries have evolved from repositories of reading material (with the stereotype of a stern, shushing librarian) to places where all known media are accessible. Job readiness and searches are part of the mission and learning for all ages takes place in today's libraries.

Here is an article from the American Library Association on makerspaces.
