Some Michigan libraries already stock anti-overdose medication and have trained employees how to use it if an apparent overdose case occurs in or around their buildings, said Gail Madziar, executive director of the Michigan Library Association.
But libraries currently do not have immunity from prosecution or lawsuits, and those that stock the medication could be held liable if something went wrong. House Bills 4366-67, sponsored by Rep. Jason Sheppard, R-Temperance, would let library employees keep and administer anti-overdose drugs without threat of court action.
The bills still need to pass the Senate and be signed by the Governor.
Born in 1802, Alexandre Dumas would write some of the most popular books of 19th-century literature. His works, such as The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, are still cultural touchstones today. The grandson of a French aristocrat and a slave of African descent, Dumas quickly rose to prominence through the power of his pen. But in Dumas’s own estimation, his masterwork was to be a massive undertaking on culinary history, one he called Le Grand Dictionnaire de Cuisine. Sadly, he never saw it published. The writer’s pet project, which he referred to as “the pillow of my old age,” was released posthumously in 1873, three years after his death.
Anyone else now wish there was a food memoir by Alexandre Dumas?
