Beat the heat! ☀️
Baltimore County has countless public places that work as havens from the heat—come hang out in our @bcplinfo libraries, shopping centers, senior centers, and more to stay cool.
More tips: linktr.ee/BaltCoGov
ALT Beat the heat; Check on older, sick or frail people daily. Operate your air conditioner or fans when possible. Opt for drinking lots of liquids specifically water, even if you do not feel thirsty. Lay low and schedule strenuous activities during the coolest time of the day. Include your pets in your COOLING plan; keep them sheltered and hydrated. Never leave a child, disabled adult or pet inside a parked car. Gather at public air-conditioned locations such as Baltimore County libraries, senior centers, movies, malls, etc.

Libraries are typically quiet, but inside @bcplinfo branches, the roar of drums fills the air this month. The sounds are made by Taiko instructor Mark H. Rooney, who uses music to bring people together & share his Japanese heritage. buff.ly/vAQ576X
