Hot Weather
​Extreme heat poses health risks, especially for people experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable groups.
​
When temperatures rise, Jefferson County Public Libraries provide safe, welcoming, air-conditioned spaces for anyone needing relief from the heat. During regular operating hours, all are welcome to use these spaces to cool down and stay comfortable.
For a full list of library locations and hours, visit: Jeffco Library Locations.
Stay safe in the heat:
-
Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol.
-
Apply sunscreen every two hours.
-
Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing.
-
Take breaks in the shade whenever possible.

OUR VISION
To create a systemic response in Jefferson County, Colorado that prevents and ends homelessness whenever possible, and when it cannot be prevented, ensures it is a rare, brief and one-time experience.
