Default Think I need better water retention

I know we are having unsusally hot weather here in central VA, nearly 10 days with 100 degree temps. I have a raised bed and the plants in it are sucking up the water, having to water everyday (plants are wilting). Bed is mulched with newspaper topped off with grass clippings but is still drying up.
We may not have this kinda weather next year but I still would like to have better water retention. What could I add to it between end of harvest this year and next spring?
