Library Entrepreneurship and Maker Services

An ALA Member Initiative Group

Welcome! This page is temporary while I get the Wordpress install up and running.

Library Entrepreneurship and Maker Services is an official Member Initiative Group of the American Library Association.

Our goal is to provide support and facilitate communication between libraries who are experimenting with entrepreneurship tools, either internally, or as programming for the public.

How do I join? Officially, you join the MIG Facebook Group, listed below. For now, this is our primary way of communicating. It would also be helpful if you enter your center's information into the directory.
