The Family and Friends CPR Training Kits are made possible through the cooperation of the Orland Park Public Library and the Orland Fire Protection District. Stop by the Youth Services desk to check out the kits. Kits are available for a three week checkout with a 10 cent fine per kit per day. Kits may only be checked out by Orland Park Public Library cardholders.
