The Maker Library Network (MLN)

The Maker Library Network is a British Council project that connects designers and makers around the world. 

Maker libraries are creative spaces, which combine a making workshop, a library and a gallery. These creative spaces are connected online enabling people to share skills, resources and ideas locally and internationally.. 

The Maker Library Network concept was created and developed by Daniel Charny and we are delighted to be working in collaboration with him.
