This project examined major trends, issues, and concerns of the Library and Information Sciences profession as measured by analysis of issues in the cultural or technological landscape of information service. In the field of Information Science it is critical to have a flexible vision for keeping the library relevant. Prior to the pandemic, each of the libraries in Sarasota County was outfitted with a Creation Stations which contain 3-D printers, sewing machines, and other creative options. They were funded by the Library Foundation of Sarasota County. They have remained largely unused during Covid-19 but the hope is to reopen them eventually. Maker Spaces are a valuable part of keeping up with future trends for libraries and community spaces.
