Update to Teen DND at Ludington Library for Summer 2026 - due to how many teens are interested in our campaign this summer we have had to split the group. This is not a bad thing - however, we are not accepting any new teens at this time. Thank you again for how interested all of you are, we look forward to future campaigns!

If you joined us for the first session on June 8, please come at normal time on June 15 (12 PM)! We will be finishing character creation and getting two groups set up for the following week. Starting on June 22, we will have two groups meeting. Group One will meet from 12:00 - 1:30 PM and Group 2 will meet from 1:30 - 3 PM. We will be putting the teens in groups on June 15, so please come to the event at 12 PM this day. Then, starting June 22 groups will begin meeting at their assigned times.

If you have any questions about what this means for your teen who is already participating please call the Ludington Library at (231) 843-8465.

House bill 5077 of 2023 made access to Naloxone easier in Michigan. The bill was sponsored by Curt Vanderwall and passed with overwhelming support. The bill allows for easier access to naloxone and protects individuals who administer it from liability. Since the bill's passage, Michigan overdose deaths have been reduced by half. In partnership with The HOPE Project, the Ludington Library now has a Naloxone (Narcan) distribution box available where individuals can access Naloxone any time they need it via the outdoor distribution box. Naloxone is a safe and effective way to reverse an opioid overdose. It will not harm anyone and will only work to reverse an opioid overdose if someone has opioids in their system. Many health care providers, social workers, and public officials carry naloxone on them, and anyone that has been prescribed an opioid painkiller should have some around. The naloxone boxes at the Library, COVE, the District Health Department, and Community Mental Health offer our community another way to care for each other.
