Libraries in the city will shut down prematurely the next day
City Library to Reopen on August 14th
Good news for book lovers in the city! The city library will resume its regular operations starting from Thursday, August 14th. This reopening does not affect the availability of digital services, such as e-books, audiobooks, and online catalogs, which will continue to be accessible.
The city is taking a measure to protect its employees and visitors, not because of any connection to the city's statement about potential negative health impacts of high temperatures, but as a general safety precaution. The library buildings will be equipped with air conditioning and climate control systems to maintain a comfortable and safe environment.
In case of any HVAC issues, libraries may temporarily close for repairs to ensure the safety of staff and visitors. During extreme heat events, some libraries act as designated cooling centers, offering a safe and climate-controlled space for the public during their normal hours, typically from 10 AM to 6 PM.
