And not just in the temperature department. Cool for other reasons...
And, libraries are cool places to visit! 😎📚
When I moved out to Cleveland, I found sanctuary in the public library. I was crashing on a friend's couch, in an apartment with no air conditioning. The library gave me a place to be cool, write my resume and find where send my resumes (this was in the late 80's). Cooling center & so much more!
The best kind🤗
Jimmy Buffet even wrote a song about it. And when the library needed a new hvac, he bought it for them.
It’s where I spent the day - nice and cool here in the library!!
And warming centers in the Winter! 💗
It would be nice if all the churches - the so called Christian churches would open at least part of their buildings as cooling centers - and just spit-balling here - overnight sleeping centers for homeless folks. All those buildings - empty for most of the week and all that tax free land - thoughts?
That was why they were originally designated tax-exempt. A whole lot of religious buildings should have lost that status a long time ago, and all those megapastors.
Libraries have always made us cool!
And warming huts..
Roller rinks and ice skating rinks are great, too. Less educational, but comfy.
Just stay away from the ones where MAGAs are busy burning books. That raises the temperature sharply.
Ours is not - no AC, which would take millions to retrofit. Unfortunately, some people who need a cooling center show up because they've been misinformed. We've posted about this, which has helped. I'm a fan of yours, love what you do, hope I don't sound cross : ) Love you
And READ for a change.

Which political party wants to end libraries?
The library in Carbondale, IL, a college town, has social work students doing internship, to assist the homeless. Their AC did go on the fritz earlier this summer. Last weekend, a group of teenagers descended on a homeless camp like Donald Trump deployed them. www.kfvs12.com/2025/08/19/c...
