[ISLMA-Share] Funding Makerspaces - donations from parents?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

>From an outsider's perspective, I agree with the person who said ASK. I
think parents and others really want to be involved in the learning
activities of their children and asking for donations of materials such as
those you suggested would be one non-monetary way to involve them.
