PRESCHOOL Construction Vehicle Meet & Greet Storytime Saturday, October 5 at 2 pm
Arundel County Department of Health has installed innovative Health-to-Go vending machines at two Anne Arundel County Public Library locations. The free vending machines at the Brooklyn Park and Deale libraries contain life-saving naloxone, fentanyl and xylazine test strips which can detect the presence of either drug, COVID test kits and masks. “These locations...were thoughtfully selected to reduce barriers to essential, lifesaving tools,” said Dr. Tonii Gedin, Anne Arundel County Health Officer. “We are hopeful this evidence-based strategy of harm reduction will change the narrative and prevent death from overdose. By making fentanyl test strips, naloxone nasal spray, and other critical harm reduction supplies free and available without stigma, we can drive down the injury and harm from opioid overdoses in our community.” One library customer shared praise saying he witnessed a young child overdose from traces of Fentanyl on a slide at a public playground and was grateful to see naloxone being offered free of charge. The machines don’t take money and were purchased through Culinary Ventures Maryland with grant funds. Other machine locations: • Eastport Community Center • Glen Burnie Health Center • Anne Arundel County Health Services Building
Kindergarten Readiness (Not held November 25-30) Babies in Bloom
• Jennifer Road Detention Center • Ordnance Road Correction Center • Severn Center
