virtual town hall has just been added to our schedule to address a national crisis. Over two million people in the United States are estimated to be dependent on prescription opioids or heroin.</b> A sharp rise in drug overdoses has made it the leading cause
of death among Americans under 50. This epidemic is happening in all regions of the country, in communities of all sizes, without discrimination for age, ethnicity, or income. As library staff see this crisis impacting their own communities, their urgent question
arises: How do we respond?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Join us on September 12 for a virtual town hall, where representatives from libraries and other community organizations will describe their local efforts and who they’re collaborating with</b>. We also want to hear from you: We’ll ask
audience participants to describe the informational, structural, financial and emotional support that library staff and community members need to withstand and address this alarming epidemic. The insights gleaned from this town hall will be shared to inform
plans for future efforts. <a href="http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=cae8865f956461ea9b1d0730af5fe71ad5e134812ca9d86ec72dcc9edfb231e5d072d95181bf51616d000429f52e9db6" title="">
