3-D Printed Face Shields<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a proud moment having team members Daniel and Stephanie see a need and demonstrate such profound impact in the community. They are demonstrating the mission and vision of Durham County Library.\u201d<\/p>TAMMY BAGGETT, Library Director <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In spring 2020, shortly after the libraries closed due to the pandemic, Daniel Davis, Technology Support Analyst<\/strong>, and Stephanie Bonestell, Public Relations Officer<\/strong>, teamed up to create approximately 400 3-D printed face shields for Durham County first responders<\/strong>. The newly renovated Durham County Main Library houses two maker spaces, both equipped with new technology, including 3-D printers and a laser cutter. While COVID-19 delayed the new library\u2019s opening, which was originally slated to open to the public in April 2020, Davis and Bonestell were able to utilize the available technology to create much-needed protective equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re grateful to have access to the library\u2019s resources so that we can support our community and the incredible work of our first responders,\u201d said Stephanie Bonestell. \u201cWe look forward to the day when regular programming in our libraries can resume and the public can experience all the new and exciting technology we have to offer.\u201d<\/strong> Durham County Library gave the face shields to Durham County Emergency Management to distribute to Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the Durham County Public Health Department. Library staff who needed them were also able to use them while working to provide Library Take-Out! services.
 
Library Director Tammy Baggett<\/strong> said, \u201cIt\u2019s a proud moment having team members Daniel and Stephanie see a need and demonstrate such profound impact in the community. They are demonstrating the mission and vision of Durham County Library.\u201d
 
The effort has been highlighted by INDY Week<\/em><\/a>, The News & Observer<\/em><\/a>, Urban Libraries Council<\/a>, and FEMA<\/a> in information on best practices by libraries in response to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
