Citizens can warm up during normal business hours of each location.
With winter temperatures forecast to be at dangerous levels this weekend, and early next week, the City of Lubbock is offering citizens a place to get out of the cold and warm up.
An emergency warming center can be opened and operated when the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts temperatures at 25 degrees or below, an inch or more of snow, temperatures below 32 degrees with an inch of driving rain, severe wind chills or extreme temperature fluctuations.
All library branches and the Civic Center will serve as warming centers during their normal operating hours, offering water, free Wi-Fi and charging stations for anyone needing to safely get out of the cold.
City asks all patrons to please be mindful and respectful of others and scheduled programming or events.
The available locations/days/times are listed below:
