You never know when you might be the one who can help. 🤝
Overdose can happen to anyone - - a neighbor, a coworker, a grandparent, or a friend. It doesn't always look like what you see on TV. In many cases, a simple medication called Naloxone (Narcan) is the difference between a tragedy and a second chance.

Adams County Library locations offer free Naloxone kits to anyone in the community. Please share this post. You could help save a life. 💜

Stop by any branch during regular hours to pick up a kit.
