Ridgewood NJ, Charles  at the Ridgewood Public Library put the Library’s 3D printer to work this week making face shields to donate to Valley Hospital’s Drop Off in response to a request for donations of personal protective equipment (PPE). These shields are crucial for medical workers in protecting the facial area and associated mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth) from splashes, sprays, and spatter of body fluids.
