Warm weather is here, and more KFPL programs will be happening outdoors! This means that weather and air quality can cause last-minute changes to our event calendar. Outdoor programs may be relocated and will often be cancelled when:

• It is actively raining or there is active thunder and lightning. 
• The temperature or humidex is 36 degrees Celsius or higher, or KFL&A Public Health has issued a heat warning.
• KFL&A Public Health issues an air quality advisory due to high levels of pollutants in the air that bring a risk to health.

The decision to cancel a program will typically be made on the same day, and cancellations will be posted on the KFPL website, event calendar and social media. We encourage you to check online or call the library for the latest information on our programs. 

When outdoor programs are running as usual, don't forget to prepare for weather conditions! We suggest a hat, sunscreen, and water on warm days to keep cool and comfortable.

At age 24—the same age as Amelia Earhart when she learned to fly—Lola realized her dream. Hear her speak on June 10!
