Cooling Centers in Berwyn

Looking for a place to cool off a little?

The Berwyn Library is one of five designated cooling centers within the City.

And we have so many events going on, and quiet places to read, or computers to use, it's a good place for the whole family to spend a couple of hours out of the heat.
