Summary:

This article addresses an all too common problem found in public libraries. It outlines some very effective steps to take in order to discourage drug use in libraries such as inviting local police departments to do routine walk-throughs, partnering with social workers, and training staff and volunteers how to recognize and report patron drug use.

Evaluation:

I enjoyed this article because I feel that it gives a plethora of valuable resources and information for library staff to take advantage of in order to recognize and report drug use.
