How to Stay Safe During Extreme Heat
Hot weather and extreme heat can cause serious illness and can even be life-threatening. Heat-related illnesses, like heat stroke and dehydration, can occur.
During heat waves, Cambridge Police Officers will distribute cold bottles of water to residents in need while they are out on patrol.
Back-to-School Story Time (Valente)
Shake off the back-to-school nerves with a special story time. Read about starting school, sing familiar songs, and learn about what activities the Library offers during the school year ahead!
This program will happen in the Valente Reading Garden outdoors. In the case of inclement weather, it will occur in the Valente Children's Area.
Meadow Developing in Flagstaff Park to Restore Habitat
An area in Flagstaff Park is being converted to a meadow in the coming months in an attempt to allow more open areas of the City to be more natural. Adding natural areas to our parks and streetscapes will encourage a greater diversity of plant and insect species.
