Show Notes
Hamiltons Central Library grapples with a surge in drug overdoses and disruptions, leading to a record 105 paramedic responses and 44 naloxone uses since December. Staff and unions argue theyre not equipped to handle medical emergencies or violence, as libraries across Canada face similar challenges amid homelessness and the opioid crisis. Despite overdoses decreasing year over year, emergency calls rise due to toxic drugs and mental health issues, with the province closing safe injection sites and no clear solution in sight.
