Larchmont Will Open Cooling Center As Temperatures Soar

LARCHMONT, NY — With heat index values between 95º F and 104º F this week in Westchester County, the village is opening a cooling center.

Those without air conditioning are urged to visit the Larchmont cooling center:

The Village Center in the lower level of the Larchmont Library, located at 121 Larchmont Ave., is open as a cooling center during normal business hours.

Note: The Main Library’s air conditioning is not functioning so that portion of the library is closed. The Children’s Room’s AC is unaffected so it is open. If you have been notified that you have a hold ready for pickup, it will be available in the Village Center. Museum passes should be picked up and returned there as well. Tutor and Conference Room reservations are canceled. It is unknown when normal operations will resume, as the library is waiting for a part to be delivered to fix the air conditioning.

There will also be a misting fan outside of Larchmont Village Hall, in front of the firehouse, during the heat this week to help residents cool off.

In addition, the NYS Department of Health's list of cooling centers by county can be viewed here.
