LAKE COUNTY
Cooling spaces in the County to help during heatwaves
With summer heat waves upon us it is critical vulnerable members of our communities have a safe space to stay cool. Lake County Behavioral Health Services’ peer support centers are open as a refuge from the heat. While these are not formal Cooling Centers, and capacity is limited, they do provide an air-conditioned place to sit and rest. Water and snacks will be offered, and restrooms are available. Referrals to social services will also be made. All are welcome.

Hot weather is anticipated all of next week. For many, it will be essential to seek out a cool place to take a break from the heat. Lake County’s four Public Library Branches are open during their normal business hours. Our Library Branches are not formal cooling centers, and capacity is limited, but they are a valuable community resource when temperatures climb. While you cool off, check out the many new materials and digital services the Library has to offer – there is something for everyone! If you are planning to visit, please be advised face coverings are required for people that are not vaccinated. Library visitors self-attest they are fully vaccinated by entering the building with no mask on. Here is a list of Lake County Library locations, and their hours of operation:
