With summer just around the corner, the County of San Diego opened its annual Cool Zones program June 1, giving people free, cool, air-conditioned places to beat the heat when they need it.

The program is expected to run to Oct. 31, giving people more than 80 places around the county to seek shelter when the temperatures soar.

Cool Zone sites include the County’s 33 branch public libraries, teen and senior centers in County parks and other city, public, private and volunteer organizations and places around the county.

A current list of all the Cool Zone sites, their hours, addresses and phone numbers is posted on the County’s Cool Zones website. The site also includes an interactive link that lets people search for Cool Zone sites by location, ZIP code, organization and what animals are allowed.
