N2 - Makerspaces have spread to libraries in recent years, to promoteequitable access to technologies, expand services, and encourageparticipation and learning. In this paper, scaffolding of learning isstudied from the perspective of library makerspace practitioners.On the basis of interviews in six Danish libraries, we analyzeformal, non-formal, and informal activities and identify seven waysof scaffolding. Three challenges are discussed: (a) fosteringcommunity while ensuring inclusion in informal activities, (b)avoiding to stifle creativity in short-term activities, and (c) findingthe role of the library in formal activities. We propose actions toovercome these challenges, such as encouraging scaffolds acrossformal, non-formal and informal learning activities and addressingthe educational role of the library.
