1. Libraries: Marple and Newtown libraries both air conditioning. Pick up a new book, catch up on your magazine reading or surf the Internet while staying cool.

2. Go See a Movie: Movie theaters are nicely air conditioned and you can spend a few hours enjoying a movie while keeping cool. The Regal Cinema in Edgmont or AMC Marple 10 are your closest options.
