Makerspace

Abstract

Librarianship as a profession globally is witnessing lots of innovations and creativity at an unprecedented rate in this era of digital connectivity. One of such is the “makerspace” which has been embraced within libraries in developed countries, but its cognizance, acceptability, and implementation in most African libraries is still low of which Nigerian libraries are not an exception. The chapter discussed and gave insights on the “what,” “how,” and the “why” of the makerspace inclusion within the Nigerian library space. This is expected to prompt its adoption by putting into perspective all the generational age cohorts so as not to be left behind in the train of what is obtainable on the global landscape within the discipline knowing fully well that the nation is the giant of Africa.
