Many thanks to our community partner, the Castleton Free Library, for hosting a cooling center on Friday, June 12, 2026. Please check on your family, friends, and neighbors who may have medical conditions or other factors that would make them more vulnerable to heat injuries. Below are a list of websites to review if you are unsure of how to prepare for extreme heat or would like to learn more about how to prepare for periods of extreme heat.
Below is the message from our wonderful library staff:
