The Day: Board Meetings, Books and Mayor Bloomberg Cuts a Ribbon

Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

September is over, but we’re stuck with some of the summer’s residual heat; temperatures will hit 80 degrees today and the week’s high will reach a balmy 84 degrees tomorrow, according to the National Weather Service.

• Community Board 2 will hold the first and second of its monthly committee meetings tonight and tomorrow night.
