By Administrator RSS Mon, July 15, 2024

Residents can get out of the heat and into an air-conditioned space at a neighborhood library with access to books, computers, wireless internet, and other Free Library amenities.

The following neighborhood library locations will serve as cooling centers during the citywide heat health emergency from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Monday, July 15; Tuesday, July 16; and Wednesday, July 17, 2024.

You can also phone our Library helpline for information on hours, renewals, and more at 1-833-TALK-FLP (825-5357).

The City of Philadelphia's map of Cooling Resources, including and beyond libraries, offers additional options to stay cool. There are also 90+ spraygrounds across Philadelphia to help you beat the heat. Find a Sprayground near you

Why are there no cooling centers in the Northeast and only 1 in the Greater Northeast as opposed to 4 in North Philly?!? How are NE seniors supposed to get to Foxchase?!? Whoever drew these lines should reprimanded

The NE is a big section and for there to be only one library available as a cooling center is unfair. The city website phila.gov lists only two sites in the NE at 8101 Bustleton Ave and 8133 Erdrick St. At least the city didn't list NE Regional library like they did the last time and it was closed.
