            Dreamland is the story of how the unfettered prescribing of pain medications and an influx of black tar heroin led to the opiate epidemic ravaging the United States. The author specifically examines its origins and effects in the state of Ohio. Copies of the book are available at the Library. The eBook is available for instant checkout with no holds from the Ohio Digital Library.

            The author of the book, Sam Quinones, will visit Tiffin on Thursday, November 8 at 7:00 p.m. at Tiffin University’s Marion Center. An opiate awareness resource fair will take place before the presentation beginning at 5:30 p.m.
