Photo: Colfax School District's 3D Printers in Action
The McGregor Company – Whitman County Library – Colfax School District: A Collaborative Community Effort to Protect Our Healthcare Workers
Thank you Colfax Schools! Recently, they added three more 3D printers to the local production of face shields for Whitman Hospital, greatly increasing the speed of production by Chris Hille of The McGregor Company in partnership with Whitman County Library.
So far, about 35 face shields have been delivered to Whitman Hospital and 12 to LaDow Court Assisted Living in Garfield.
Colfax School District's Superintendent, Jerry Pugh, brought three 3D printers to McGregor's facility Friday, April 10. There are now five printers in production!
The face shield is made of four components and two are 3D printed. These are the upper headband and the lower bottom support, pictured below. Then there are the clear plastic shield and the elastic band.

| Holly Meyer, Colton & Uniontown Library Branch Manager, Recommends The Enchanted Life of Adam Hope by Rhonda Riley |
Holly really enjoyed this eAudiobook and wanted to share it with you! “Enhanced by gorgeous depictions, it evokes the wonder of being alive, of loving, of finding one’s home. By the end, it feels like you have truly listened in on a life...Folkloric elements blend with pure romance." (Review from Amazon.com) Holly also said she spent a lot of time trying to figure out how it was going to end, and she wasn't disappointed!
