MONROE — When the pipes burst a Edith Wheeler Memorial Library on Martin Luther King day last year, it was a disaster, destroying furniture, carpeting and flooring in part of library’s first floor. But from that disaster sprang an opportunity, said library director Lorna Rhyins. “Instead of just putting things back the way they were,” she said. “we wanted to put things back in a way that helps the library meet the new needs of the public we serve.” That included jumping on a trend that’s been popping up in libraries all over the country over the past few years — makerspaces. These are collaborative workspaces designed to bring together craftspeople to work on a variety of projects.
