When it's too cold for comfort, come on in! Your local library branch offers a toasty place to sit and relax.
When a cold warning from Halton Region is in effect, all open library branches are official community warming centres, and pets may come inside with their owners. You may be asked to stay in a designated area with your pet for the well-being of all library visitors.
Cold warnings are issued when the daily predicted low temperature is -15 degrees Celsius without wind-chill or when Environment Canada issues an Extreme Cold Warning for outdoor activity. Exposure to freezing temperatures could result in cold-related injuries such as frostbite or hypothermia. Never ignore symptoms! Get to a warm place and get medical help right away if you or someone you know has difficulty speaking, thinking, and walking or loss of feeling and colour in hands, feet, nose, ears, or cheeks.
