July Is Not Only Known For Independence Day

You know, July is not only known for Independence Day. It's also known as the time when you could have a heat stroke!
That's why we here at the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library not only provide you with books, videos, DVDs, audio books and a multitude of other items to check out, but we provide you with health-wise
tips.
This month when you come into the front foyer, you'll find a display poster about Heat Stroke. It will tell you what a heat stroke is, the danger signals, symptoms, and what you can do to help someone if you think they are suffering from a heat stroke.
And it's not just about heat. A "heat index" chart will show you the effect of heat and humidity. For instance, if it's 90 degrees outside with 100% humidity, you're at risk for heat stroke! And I found out a long time ago, you could live in the South with 90 degrees and 100% humidity and it would not be raining!
We're also giving out bookmarks about heat stroke and you're welcome to pick up a couple of them whenever you check out your next library item.
Be sure you stay cool during July! We love having you come visit us.
