Cooling Center at NMPL

6/20/2025

With excessive heat warnings in effect this week and next (temperatures in the 90s and high heat indexes), the North Manchester Public Library is open as a cooling center for anyone who needs relief from the heat.

We’re open today (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) from 9am to 5pm. Next week will also be warm, so stop by any time between the hours of 9am to 8pm Monday through Thursday.

The library offers cool water, comfortable seating, and restrooms. Whether you're without air conditioning or just need a break from the heat, you're welcome to spend the day with us - no library card or checkouts required!

Looking for something to do while you cool off? Enjoy browsing our books, working on a puzzle from our collection, playing a board game, joining a program, or hopping on a computer. Need a quiet spot to work? Try a cozy reading nook or reserve one of our meeting rooms.

Stay cool and stay safe, North Manchester!
