What is a Smile Button?

Library members who wear a face mask while on the job – such as teachers, medical staff or customer service workers – can request a free 2.5 inch pin-back button with an image of their face so others can see the smile behind their mask.

- If applicable, library staff will contact you to arrange a virtual consultation by Google Meet.
- During the virtual consultation, staff will examine the request with you, determine its suitability for the requested service, demonstrate how to prepare the job in the appropriate software and send it to the 3D printer or vinyl cutter.

  - Four Corners Branch (65 Queen St. E).
