• Illinois public libraries to maintain supply of opioid overdose reversal agents (wpsdlocal6.com) — Public libraries in Ullin and across Illinois will soon be required to keep opioid overdose reversal medications like naloxone on hand, with trained staff allowed to administer them during emergencies. State health officials and the Southern 7 Health Department say this change, tied to an updated standing order and the Illinois Local Library Act, is meant to make lifesaving treatment more accessible in local community spaces.
