Inhalants can kill suddenly—whether the user is a first-time user or an addict. They can also cause brain damage, memory loss and other problems.

Here are some signs of inhalant abuse:

Deborah Ervin Named Interim Library Director

By contributor,

With the recent retirement of Library Director Rownak Hussain, I am pleased to announce an Interim Library Director: Deborah Ervin. Deb recently retired from her position in Concord and was looking to see if she could “help out” at the Library. She has over 25 years library experience and has been a resident for 11 years. Deb has her Masters Degree in Library & Information Sciences from Simmons College and has experience with renovation projects. She understands the collegial relationships between the Town, the Library and its Trustees, as well as the Friends of the Library.
