πŸ›Ž #TraceTogether and #SafeEntry Updates

SafeEntry check-in service has been fully restored on the TraceTogether app. Checking in via SafeEntry QR scanning is now functioning normally.

πŸ“° #TechNews: 3D Printing

So many of you have shared creative ideas of what you would like to 3D-print!

Do you know what Luke Skywalker, Bucky Barnes AKA the Winter Soldier, and Robocop have in common? Aside from being heroes, they also have prosthetic limbs (which some say are as good as the real deal) 😎

Prosthetics are just one among many use cases for 3D printing, alongside dental implants and edible food.

Curious to try printing something 3D for yourself? Three of our National Library branches have 3D printing machines available for the public to use.
