The Delaware County District Library is providing cooling centers for residents seeking relief from the high temperatures reaching 100 degrees this week. In addition to air conditioning, experts recommend staying hydrated, wearing light-colored clothing, and applying sunscreen when necessary to be outdoors. The library, along with other resources in the county, is offering assistance to vulnerable individuals, including providing box fans through People in Need of Delaware County’s Fans for Friends drive and door-to-door transportation to cooling centers through FLEX services.
SourcePoint, a resource for residents 55 and older, is also serving as a cooling center during their open hours. Aside from staying cool, residents can explore Enrichment Center activities such as quilting, SilverSneakers, and pinochle games. Additionally, the library offers a variety of book clubs with exciting reads like “Come and Get It” by Kiley Reid and “Tom Lake” by Ann Patchett.
As the heat wave continues, residents are encouraged to remain indoors and enjoy a good book picked up from the library. For questions or more information, individuals can reach out to the Delaware County District Library by email or phone, or visit their website. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and enjoy the resources available in Delaware County to help cope with the extreme temperatures.
