Stay warm, everyone!

With freezing temperatures in the forecast, the city will be opening several warming centers this holiday weekend despite the fact that city facilities would typically be closed. According to a press release from the city, warming centers will be open Friday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-7 p.m. at:

• Little Walnut Creek Branch Library, 835 W. Rundberg Lane

Up-to-date information on warming shelters is available online, and those unable to pay for transportation will be accommodated by Capital Metro, if requested. In addition, the city and partner agencies will be operating cold weather shelters for at least four nights, overnight, Dec. 22-25. According to a notice from the city, “Registration for shelter will take place each evening between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. at One Texas Center, 505 Barton Springs Road, which will act as a central embarkation point from which people will be transported to a cold weather shelter, located off-site.”
