Narcan or No?; American Libraries, June 1, 2020

Anne Ford, American Libraries; Narcan or No?


Several years into the opioid crisis, public librarians reflect on whether to stock free naloxone


"“I think some libraries are concerned about liability, even though most states have Good Samaritan laws around naloxone,” Duddy says. “And I think some people feel there’s not an [opioid overdose] issue where their library is located.”

The libraries to which American Libraries spoke cited different reasons for not seeking the free Narcan."
