Abstract
As library buildings close, library workers are finding ways to help communities to mitigate the COVID-19 crisis. Librarians have maker skills as well as access to maker technologies. Maker skills include designing prototypes, products, and services using emerging technologies, such as 3D printers. During the COVID crisis we are experiencing a disrupted supply chain. This disruption, when combined with an increase in local needs, result in a problem that library workers can solve.
