In response to the heat advisory expected early next week, the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County (PLYMC) will serve as cooling spaces for community members seeking relief from the heat. Locations with meeting rooms will make those spaces available to those looking to cool off.

During regular library hours, visitors are welcome to enjoy the air-conditioned environment, access to drinking water, and a variety of amenities including reading materials, computer access, and library programs.

We encourage anyone in need of a cool, safe space to stop by and take advantage of these resources.
