Plan to donate blood at the Library’s third annual blood drive on behalf of the Indiana Blood Center. Donors must be at least 17 years old, 110 lbs., be in good health, and pass a brief mini-physical and medical history review. A valid picture ID is also required.
Blood Donation Facts:
• The donation process (including paperwork & screening) typically takes less than one hour from start to finish
• Every two seconds, someone needs blood
• The blood supply needs constant replenishment
• The Indiana Blood Center’s daily goal is 550 units to supply hospitals throughout the State of Indiana
• Only 8% of the eligible donor population donates blood
• Scientists have not been able to create a substitute for blood
