Wednesday, November 04
12:00pm - 4:00pm

LA County Library customers can pick up a free dose of Naloxone (Narcan) and fentanyl testing strips at a select locations. For all ages.

    Naloxone is a life-saving medication used to reverse an opioid overdose, including heroin, fentanyl and prescription opioid medications. Fentanyl test strips can be used to help reduce the chance of an overdose. The strip tests drugs for fentanyl contamination and provide a simple yes or no on whether fentanyl is present, but not how much.

    Customers do not have to provide identification, proof of insurance, or payment. While onsite, customers will need to complete a brief video training on how to administer naloxone. Limit one per customer, while supplies last.

    For other distribution sites, go to https://lacountylibrary.org/naloxone/

    About the branch

    Friendly El Monte, the End of the Santa Fe Trail, was incorporated in 1912. The city was once home to Gay's Lion Farm during the 1930s and famous for the roaring lion on MGM's logo.

    The El Monte Library was founded in 1890, and joined the Los Angeles County Public Library in 1913. It has been at its present location since 1967.
