    Those who are reduced to picking on public libraries are avoiding the real work - which is probably a lot harder to do. Go libraries!

  21. How to keep your house cool during #NewEngland #HeatWave

    "As a heat wave approaches Massachusetts, residents may be looking for ways to keep their homes as cool as possible.

    "The National Weather Service is predicting 'extreme heat and humidity' across most of southern New England, except the Berkshires and the Cape and Islands, from Wednesday, July 1, through Friday, July 3.

    "Temperatures are expected to rise above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (and heat index values around 111 degrees) near the end of the week.

    "The weather service recommends drinking plenty of water and staying in an air-conditioned space to reduce the effects of the heat on the body.
    Here are some tips for those without air conditioning or looking for ways to lower indoor temperatures during the upcoming 'dangerous heat.'

    "Here are some tips to help keep your home cool during the upcoming New England heat wave, according to Boston Emergency Management:

    - Install an air conditioner and use ceiling or standing fans to improve airflow. However, electric fans will not prevent #HeatRelatedIllness, the City of Boston said.
    - Weather-strip doors and windowsills to keep cool air inside.
    - Reflect heat back outside by installing temporary window reflectors, such as aluminum foil-covered cardboard, between windows and drapes.
    - Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sunlight with drapes, shades, awnings, or louvers. Outdoor awnings or louvers can reduce the heat entering a home by up to 80%, according to Boston Emergency Management.
    - See if you can have a tree planted on the sidewalk in front of your home for free. Cities including Boston, Worcester, Quincy, Lowell, and Springfield offer free street tree planting programs.
    - Limit the use of your stove and oven, which can increase indoor temperatures.

    Visit cooling centers if your home can't get cool

    "If your home doesn't have air conditioning or isn't staying cool enough, Boston Emergency Management recommends taking breaks in air-conditioned places such as shopping malls, #PublicLibraries, or public #CoolingCenters.

    "In Boston, cooling centers include swimming pools, #SplashPads , and community centers. Residents can call 2-1-1 to find cooling locations across #Massachusetts."
