ROCHELLE — Thanks in part to a grant from the Rochelle Area Community Foundation, the Flagg-Rochelle Public Library now has an automated external defibrillator (AED).
The AED is a medical device used to deliver an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish normal rhythm in the even of a sudden cardiac arrest. Many public locations throughout the country are installing these life-saving devices.
When applying for the grant earlier this year, Flagg-Rochelle Library director Sarah Flanagan said the goal was to be “diligently prepared for an emergency situation.”
“Safety must be a top priority in our building to ensure that all patrons and community members have a positive library experience,” Flanagan said.
