Several Solano County Library branches will serve as cooling centers as triple-digit temperatures are forecasted to impact the region this week.
In a statement on Monday, the Solano County Public Health office said library branches in Dixon, Fairfield Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville, Vallejo will open to the public as cooling centers when the libraries are open during regular business hours.
The following library branches have been designated as cooling centers:
Dixon Library (230 North First Street)
Fairfield Civic Center Library (1150 Kentucky Street)
Cordelia Library (5050 Business Center Drive, Fairfield)
John F. Kennedy Library (505 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo)
Rio Vista Library (44 South Second Street)
Suisun City Library (601 Pintail Drive)
Vacaville Cultural Center Library (1020 Ulatis Drive)

Officials said the Springstowne Library branch in Vallejo was not being used as a cooling center because the air conditioning there is broken.
Those who need more information about the libraries that are serving as cooling centers are asked to call the Solano County Library at 1-866-572-7587.
