«Libraries: innovative spaces to dream, think, and create | Chad Mairn | TEDxTampaRiverwalk

»"Libraries", says Chad, ” are more than a storage house for books; they are friendly places for discovery where creativity and learning is nurtured! Do it yourself (DIY) culture has permeated into libraries giving patrons of all ages a chance to dream, think, and create interesting things...”

»Chad Mairn is a librarian, teacher, author, and self-described geek who frequently shares his enthusiasm for ‘all-things technology’ as a speaker at library and technology conferences. He is an Information Services Librarian, adjunct professor, and also manages the Innovation Lab at St. Petersburg College.Chad also plays drums in Fowler’s Bluff, a local rock band with their own craft beer with the same name, because librarians are Rock Stars!
