Stay cool at the library today! Chill out, play a game, or read a book.

☀️ Hot temperatures are expected across our region beginning this weekend and continuing into early next week.

Now is a good time to prepare. Stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day, and make a plan to stay cool if temperatures rise.

If you plan to spend time outdoors or on the water, remember that rivers and lakes remain cold even during hot weather. Wear a life jacket and use caution around moving water.

Please take a few minutes to prepare now and check in on family members, neighbors, and others who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat.

Stay safe, Springfield.
