Stroke at the library

Saturday, one of the library staff members had a stroke while at work. Another staff member was having lunch with her when she started coughing, dropping things, and slurring her speech. Our intrepid staff member followed our stricken staff member and found her on the floor. She called 911 immediately.

Our hero says that she was suspicious of these symptoms because of the training our local hospital did for us on recognizing stroke symptoms. They even did a little video about it.

We are all very happy that our staff member will recover and our other staff member is a hero.
