The three public libraries in the Tredyffrin-Easttown Patch coverage area offer countless options for beach reading without the sand. If you've got students who need to catch up (or even get started) on their summer reading today might be the perfect time for a getaway to the library.

The Tredyffrin Public Library features a big children's library and special area just for teens. The library is open until 6 p.m. on Fridays.

The Paoli Library is also open until 6 p.m. on Fridays. You can learn more about the library's summer reading programs by clicking here.

The Wayne Senior Center, located adjacent to the Wayne Train Station offers relief to anyone of any age who may need a place to go to cool off during extreme heat days.

Fun in the pool

The Upper Main Line YMCA has several indoor and outdoor pools. If you're not a member you can join on the spot. For families with students going into seventh grade the Y currently offers free membership for students entering seventh grade in the fall.

CBS 3 Consumer Reporter Jim Donovan found this deal on a water park that kicks in when the thermometer tops 100 degrees.

Relief comes in many flavors

Cinnamon Bun is the flavor of the day at Jake's Frozen Custard in Paoli. Owner Missy Shaw also always has vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry on hand as well as a rainbow of other flavors, made fresh in the store.

Peppermint stick is the featured flavor in Berwyn at Handel's Ice Cream, according the the ice creamery's Facebook page.

Rita's Water Ice in Berwyn is always a good place to find something sweet and cool.
