As summer sizzles, library remains closed. (Philadelphia Inquirer,6/7/2011)
Excerpt: For the past two weeks, the Roxborough Library has been closed - a victim of a broken air-conditioning system - leaving residents to seek other places to beat the heat, socialize or check out a library book.
Sandy Horrocks, vice president of external affairs for Free Library of Philadelphia, said the air conditioners stopped working on May 25 and the city hopes to reopen the library June 15. It will cost $30,000 to repair the building's two air-conditioning compressors, which date back to 1969, when the library opened.
