In an effort to proactively inform all about where to find shelter during severe weather, this information is posted at library front entrances. The library is a de facto warming center, meaning public spaces organically serve as centers during open library hours only. All locations require masks and physical distancing; some also have temperature checks upon arrival. Questions? Ask our Social Services and Public Safety Team »
