Happy Presidents Day!
Friday, February 16, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
This Monday, in observance of Presidents Day, a number of city offices (and the Austin Monitor) will be closed. The Austin Energy customer call center and customer service centers will be closed, though payment by mail, drop box or authorized H-E-B, Fiesta and Walmart stores will remain open. Austin Public Library branches will be closed both Sunday and Monday, Feb. 18 and 19. The Austin Animal Center will also be closed on Monday. Though the parks themselves will be open, many park facilities will be closed. Curbside garbage, recycling and compost collection will not be impacted by the holidays. A full list of the closures can be found here.
