In the Kate Gleason Auditorium of the Bausch and Lomb Library Building is a Community Discussion on The Opioid Crisis.

With hundreds of drug overdoses happening across the country every week, the opioid epidemic has been deemed a public health emergency! However, as with many social issues, the conversations surrounding this epidemic are complex and involve input from many different perspectives. The Rochester Public Library and Gates Public Library will host a free panel discussion with representatives from local law enforcement, experts in physiology and psychology, and advocates of the addiction community. Each panelist will share the challenges they face within their field, what they're doing to address these challenges, and what changes they'd like to see happening in our communities.
