LOS ANGELES COUNTY LIBRARY - MASK MAKING
The Los Angeles County Library is closed to the public, but behind the scenes librarians are offering services online and making sewing face masks. The masks are for LA County librarians who are being deployed as disaster worker to homeless shelters or to provide childcare for health care workers in medical facilities. Because there is a shortage of mask for people in the frontlines, LA County Library sent out a call-out asking for volunteers to sew masks. Approximately 100 people with sewing skills volunteered, and to 23 those people started to work at La Puente Library. By the end of their first week, they’ll create 350 masks. Once all 100 volunteers get stocked with supplies, they will produce 1,500 face masks per week.(Mayra Beltran Vasquez / Los Angeles County )
