Oregon City cooling center at public library open again Tuesday

With temperatures again in the triple digits, Oregon City opened the public library as a cooling center again on Tuesday, July 9.

This city update means that community members looking to cool down from triple-digit temperatures can visit the library on 606 John Adams Street. Around 7 p.m., if the temperatures are 100 degrees or higher, the library will remain open to provide relief from the heat wave.

The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning through 10 p.m. Tuesday in portions of northwest and west/central Oregon, as well as southwest Washington, and told people to drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned rooms, check on neighbors, not to leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles and wear light and loose-fitting clothes, among other recommendations.
