This week, Jamie Wright and Sara Nutt Lee attended the two-day 2021 Nebraska Makerspace Conference in Lincoln, NE. The conference was held at the beautiful Nebraska Innovation Campus Conference Center. People were in attendance from schools, libraries, colleges, and businesses from all over Nebraska. Sara and Jamie each had multiple (all different) sessions that they presented at. The topics the two talked about included: how to host and publicize makerspace events, creating a makerspace in small spaces, ask the experts session, making the transition from a temporary to a permanent makerspace, and marketing your makerspace, It was exciting for CCPL to be able to talk about our library’s makerspace and about our community! #EnterImagineCreate#makerspaceCentralCity Nebraska
