The Internet and the advent of e-books have launched school libraries beyond brick and mortar, allowing patrons 24/7 access to the resources they seek. With these technological advancements, an often-iterated question arises as to the relevance of libraries and librarians now that access to information previously available through print, reference, and special collections in libraries is now accessible via handheld devices. With this in mind, how can school librarians articulate and actively demonstrate to the world at large, and more importantly to teachers, administrators, parents, and students, the critical role fully functioning, well-staffed school libraries play in the development and support of innovative teaching and actively engaged, critically thinking students? Makerspaces provide one avenue through which this misinformed question of relevance can be dispelled. When considering the development of a makerspace collection in school libraries and beyond, it is crucial to students' lifelong well-being to go beyond the "Ooh, shiny" that comes with 3-D printers, robots, and LEGO walls and examine the overall purpose, learning goals, and scope of a makerspace, as well as its impact on future lifelong learning.
