We Still Need Your Help!
In response to the ongoing request from our local hospitals, Chemung County Library District is continuing its search for volunteers to assist with sewing masks for healthcare workers, as they continue to help those affected by COVID-19 and prepare for a probable resurgence. Surgical wrap material, reported to block 99% of viruses, has been donated by Arnot and Guthrie and will be provided to individuals or groups interested in contributing to this endeavor. To sign up as a volunteer, please visit: http://ccld.lib.ny.us/volunteer-to-make-ppe/
