I'm not following what this is exactly.

I've donated lots of tools to maker spaces including Tetra and the Bridgeland Tool Library in Calgary. There's a community/social element to these places definitely, and many of them have a pecking order to them. Not that this is negative, but you'll get the most out of them if you are a social type who enjoys collaborating with others on projects, and you hang out there instead of just showing up to use a machine. I noticed when I was there, it is clear you have to earn your stripes to access some of the machines and knowledge of the established members. They remind me a lot of volunteer boards...if you don't participate with the members and show enthusiasm for their interests, you may not enjoy the experience.
I noticed members fell into two main groups: 1) older guys (almost exclusively) who were downsizing their shops, had donated machines, and now hang out there a lot; and 2) the younger (25-35) crowd of men and women who embrace "the sharing economy" philosophy, don't want to purchase tools or be tied down to their own shop, and love to collaborate with others. Lots of artistic people in this latter group as well.
That's been my experience, albeit limited and biased as I am too introverted to enjoy them myself. However, I think they are a great thing if you like to work this way and I admire people who do.
