We need your help so a Cape Canaveral park can win $20,000 in the #MeetMeAtThePark contest! Nominate Cape Canaveral this #EarthMonth at www.nrpa.or/beinspired #BeInspired Canaveral Maker Space Meeting — A Makerspace brainstorm meeting took place at the Recreation Complex on Thursday. To describe them simply, makerspaces are community centers with tools. Makerspaces combine manufacturing equipment, community and education for the purposes of enabling community members to design, prototype and create manufactured works that wouldn't be possible to create with the resources available to individuals working alone. These spaces can take the form of loosely -organized individuals sharing space and tools, for -profit companies, non- profit corporations, organizations affiliated with or hosted within schools, universities or libraries, and more. All are united in the purpose of providing access to equipment, community and education, and all are unique in exactly how they are arranged to fit the purposes of the community they serve. Makerspaces represent the democratization of design, engineering, fabrication and education. 110 ifo)' Rif �Jl rr Bat Conservation Workshop — Did you know a single little brown bat (myotis) can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes in a single hour, and is one of the world's longest -lived mammals for its size, with life spans of almost 40 years?

They're really incredible animals and the public got to see them up close and personal at the Library during the workshop.
