<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Dear Friend,<div><br></div><div>The opioid crisis is touching the lives of so very many people in our country, in our state, and in our local community. Libraries are here to help with information to help us understand complex issues.</div><div><br></div><div>WCDPL is proud to bring New York Times bestselling author Beth Macy to BG on April 1at (7pm at the BG Schools Performing Arts Center on West Poe Road) to discuss her book Dopesick.</div><div><div><br></div><div>"Beginning with a single dealer who lands in a small Virginia town and sets about turning high school football stars into heroin overdose statistics, Macy endeavors to answer a grieving mother's question-why her only son died-and comes away with a harrowing story of greed and need. From the introduction of OxyContin in 1996, Macy parses how America embraced a medical culture where overtreatment with painkillers became the norm. In some of the same distressed communities featured in her bestselling book Factory Man, the unemployed use painkillers both to numb the pain of joblessness and pay their bills, while privileged teens trade pills in cul-de-sacs, and even high school standouts fall prey to prostitution, jail, and death.</div><div><br></div><div>Through unsparing, yet deeply human portraits of the families and first responders struggling to ameliorate this epidemic, each facet of the crisis comes into focus. In these politically fragmented times, Beth Macy shows, astonishingly, that the only thing that unites Americans across geographic and class lines is opioid drug abuse."</div><div><br></div><div>I hope you will join us on April 1st at the Performing Arts Center on West Poe Road in BG. Please get your free tickets NOW (see the link below). Also, please share this information with your friends and colleagues.</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>Michael</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Wood County District Public Library</strong> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:WCDPLInfo@wcdpl.org">WCDPLInfo@wcdpl.org</a>></span><br>Date: Tue, Mar 19, 2019 at 7:14 AM<br>Subject: Special Events @ WCDPL<br></div><br><br><u></u>
