MCCRACKEN COUNTY (WSIL) -Since the beginning of July, the McCracken County Public Library has been working with the Purchase District Health Department to give out free Narcan nasal spray, a brand of naloxone, to counter the effects of an opioid overdose in progress.
But why put medicine that helps stop an opiod overdose in a library? It might not be the first place that comes to your head but it s an institution in your town that is busy, that sees a lot of traffic, that sees people from all walks of life, it s a place from which you would trust information, said Interim Library Director Sarah McGowan.
