Bibliothek Buchs is scheduled to move in 2024 and plans to add a makerspace to their new location. We identified community interest in topics to be offered in this space. We worked with Mr. Köppel, the head of the Makerspace project, to hold in-person interviews with library members, visit existing makerspaces, and offer a Qualtrics survey to confirm community interest. Finally, we provided Bibliothek Buchs with a member interest analysis and a sample makerspace layout together with an equipment list.
