In the event of a life threatening emergency like a heart attack or choking, every minute before help arrives is important. What do you do after calling 911? In recognition of National CPR Day on June 6, the Iowa City Public Library and the Johnson County Ambulance Service will host two potentially life-saving workshops that day in Meeting Room A. Both workshops will be led by paramedics from Johnson County Ambulance. STOP the Bleed: 9 to 9:45 a.m.; 10:30 to 11:15 a.m.

Riverside Dr. in Iowa City, anytime between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. for a home-style breakfast, and a portion of the sales will be donated to the Library.
