 This year's conference theme: “Scrappiness”

• Setting out to create something involves both big dreams and many obstacles. We quickly run into time constraints, limited materials, access challenges, administrative rules, and the inertia of how things have always been done. We push against that resistance. We fight to get in and get on with it. We are scrappy. We pull from the bottom of our own buckets of energy. We are outsiders, leftovers, left-outs. We are educators who deserve more but make do. We are makers who build with the materials at hand. We are inventors who cobble together rules to turn our surroundings into a game.
  
  
• “Scrappiness” means using whatever is around us—the trash, the leftovers, the scraps. We cut construction paper and leave tiny bits behind. We make a meal and compost eggshells and orange peels. Those leftovers become opportunities to make again, to play, and to learn. A cardboard box becomes a rocket ship. Compost becomes soil for a community garden. From scraps, we create beautiful art, meaningful experiences, and community.

DIY Stickers

Looking for a low-cost, fun, maker-y activity for teens (and tweens)?  Try DIY stickers! All it takes is parchment paper, unlined paper, coloring tools, and scissors. In her most recent post on Teen Librarian Toolbox, Karen Jensen (with an assist from her own teen) details the process. 

She writes, "Like a lot of teens today, my teen is obsessed with stickers. She also loves to spend her free time coloring. Thus, she started making her own hand-colored stickers in a very low-tech way. She saw people making their own on social media and adapted the process in a way that works for her. Today she’s walking us through the steps."

This is a back pocket activity I have out for a lot of teen and tween events. I keep a container with the supplies, a few image suggestions, and the instructions ready to go in the teen space. It's worked pretty well and can be adapted to a lot of different programs. I've used it during Anime Club, Minecraft and Five Nights at Freddy's events, Teen Hangouts, and many more. It's also an easy craft to take to school visits. This summer is a perfect time to give it a try! Color Our World by coloring your own stickers!

The teens/tweens we have mainly draw their own images or trace from their phones as described in Jensen's post. However, it's a good idea to have a few suggestions if they aren't artistically inclined or don't have a device.  The suggestions I use are from Canva's free image library (it is a Pro account through our Friends group). 

I've included my instruction sheet and an example suggestion sheet below. Happy stickering!

  Video Game Collections in Libraries, Pt. #3:

Collection Maintenance, Circulating Consoles, Wraparound Services, and Digital Games 

• In parts one and two of our “Video Game Collections in Libraries” webinar series, we first outlined effective pathways for video game selection and acquisition, and followed that up by showcasing how to “librarianize” your acquired games via processing, cataloging, and displaying best practices. So – you’ve got games on shelves, and they’re checking out; done! Mission accomplished? … Not so fast!! There are additional steps needed to maintain that collection and keep it healthy, with further opportunities to implement “value-added” services that will support your video game collection. Finally, it’s important that we collectively ask: what will our video game collections look like in 5 to 10 years, where most games will likely be “all digital”? How can a librarian prepare for that inevitable shift?
  
  In part #3 of our “Video Game Collections in Libraries” webinar (the final part!), we will dig into suggested protocols for weeding and repairing discs, recommendations for “wraparound” services like video game programs, circulating game consoles, and helping your patrons acquire necessary video game patches/updates – along with a deep (but brief) exploration into important questions like “What will libraries do when video games transition to all digital?”, “what impact would all-digital video games have on offering library game collections?”, and, most importantly, “who is working on what in this space right now?” – to set our libraries up for success in the future!

Join the Library Makers Community

The Library Makers community is for people who run services and/or programs for library staff, past or current, or individuals who work with libraries, who have an interest in makerspaces and maker programming. Our community is inclusive, diverse and filled with hope and positive energy! Whether you are just starting out in the world of making or you have been at it for years, you are in a small library or big, you have a dedicated makerspace, a maker cart, or just maker programs, this is the place to collaborate and connect.

To keep Library Makers members engaged and to continue to bring value to LM, we need help from our members. We are looking for volunteers to provide leadership (in big ways and small) to keep LM growing and evolving as an integral part of the maker movement.

What’s in it for you? LM leaders say that they:

• Gain skill professionally (presenting at conferences, being tied to a nationally recognized initiative, learning new skills)
• Appreciate the time spent collaborating with colleagues across the country at various types of libraries (rural, urban, university-based, etc.)
• Love having their input matter and show up in how things change within the community that can affect the larger library field

There are four committees to choose from:

• Community building
• Sustainability
• Leadership Team
• Events & Programming

Election Information
The self-nomination form opens March 1 and closes March 31. Candidate profiles and interest statements will be shared April 25. The general election will run May 1 through May 15.

Join us in shaping the future of Library Makers—get involved in our committee elections and help drive our community forward!

Play Make Learn Annual Conference

August 21st & 22nd, 2025

Memorial Union | 800 Langdon St. | Madison, WI

• The Play Make Learn Conference is a place for collaboration and discovery in the design, research and practice of playful learning, games for learning and positive social impact, making and makerspaces, STEAM education, and arts in education. PML creates an inspirational space for preK-12 educators, designers, developers, innovators, librarians, museum professionals, makers, and researchers to tinker together, share knowledge, and celebrate one another’s work. For the first time ever, Play Make Learn will have a conference theme to bring together the work of all of the communities that come together for the conference. The 2025 Play Make Learn Conference theme is: 

• Innovations in educational design and play-based learning often emerge from moments of critical reflection, experimentation, and creative risk-taking. By embracing the processes of breaking and mending, we can foster enhanced inclusivity, deeper relevance in teaching and learning practices, and greater belonging in educational spaces. This year’s conference theme invites educators, researchers, scholars, librarians, and practitioners to critically examine the acts of breaking and mending as pathways to systemic transformation, resilience, and creative growth. Whether through playful experimentation, critical deconstruction, or thoughtful rebuilding, we explore how “messiness” can lead to meaningful change and stronger, more human-centered learning environments. Possible Focus Areas for Submissions include but are not limited to:

• Critical Breaking: Exploring how deconstruction of traditional educational systems can disrupt inequities and create more inclusive spaces; investigating maker education as systems thinking: breaking down to understand and transform; examining how games in education challenge systemic power structures, & restructuring educational practices to be student-led.

• Playful Breaking: Leveraging arts integration as a tool for belonging through messiness and experimentation; designing for “productive failure” to foster resilience and creativity in learners; creating “maker” spaces that encourage learners to break, question, and rebuild.

• Rebuilding Through Reflection: Using the metaphor of Kintsugi (the "art of beautiful repair") to explore how educational practices can emerge stronger after breaking; reflecting on the disassembled components of a classroom to build more equitable, inclusive learning environments; developing frameworks for rebuilding educational spaces to support deeper learning and human connection.

• This theme invites participants to embrace the messy, complex, and transformative journey of breaking and mending for better learning futures.

While not all sessions will speak directly to the theme, you are encouraged to use it as inspiration while developing your proposals. Proposals which address the theme will receive special consideration during the review and selection process.

• Playful Demo: This interactive, open-ended session is a chance to show off or playtest a game, ed tech tool, or other innovation. Presenters will have a table for their activity or tool during the interactive poster & playful demo session.
