Librarians fight Overdoses

    Pretty sobering article in the NY Times about how a growing number of public libraries in New York State are taking on the challenge of training for, stocking, and delivering the anti-opioid drug naloxone for overdosing patrons. Libraries in high-density population centers are seeing a dramatic increase of patrons under the influence of opioids; including overdoses. NYS has enacted legislation adding libraries to the list of institutions such as schools that are authorized to possess and use naloxone. Testy question for each library out there.
