[Michlib-l] AED's in libraries

[Membiela, Clare (MDE)]

Hello:
As far as legal aspects go, libraries and library staff should be covered under one of Michigan’s Good Samaritan acts:

Thanks!
Clare

Schools all have. 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.

I checked with our ambulance service to see if we needed one.  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.

Does anyone have an automated external defibrillator (AED) at their library?
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!
