Our wonderful librarian Nancy Peterson is retiring soon, her last day is September 30th, although we are going to miss her so much, we are also so excited that she gets to enjoy her family and have a lot more time to enjoy the things she loves!

Wish her well and thankyou's to npeterson@dsdmail.net

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. I thought it would be a good time to send some resources to our families in case you or someone you know may be struggling with thoughts of suicide. You are not alone. Help is available.

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Call or Text 988 (speak with a local licensed clinician)

SafeUT App for iPhone and Android: www.healthcare.utah.edu/uni/safe-ut/ (SafeUT can also be used for violence and bullying prevention.)

If someone you know is in immediate danger, take them to any emergency room or call 911.
