Hello: As far as legal aspects go, libraries and library staff should be covered under one of Michigan’s Good Samaritan acts: http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-691-1504 Thanks!

Some churches. Directions are on the AED. Just finished a tutorial for substitute teaching so would be easy enough for library staff to learn to use.

He said we are close enough to the station that their response time should be good enough to not need one. Our open hours coincide with more hours that more manpower is available for them. My concern is when they are out on another call, where do we get priority at? Along with the training and the costs, I'm thinking we are going to take our chances on their availability.

We are considering one, but are concerned about training, especially ongoing, and about legal ramifications. If you are willing, please share your knowledge and experience with us!
