Almost two decades ago, Andy Spinks had an idea. It occurred to him that many libraries had a video studio, but few, if any, had an audio studio. Around that time, the makerspace movement took off, and how school libraries are viewed as creative hubs began to evolve.

Today, Spinks is one of two library media specialists at Campbell High School, a school of 3,100 students in Smyrna, GA, approximately twenty minutes outside Atlanta. He has brought the concept of a library recording studio to fruition in a way that is unique, innovative, and thoughtfully crafted around the needs of his student body. The program has been running for five years and continues to grow.
