CITY-SHC OVERNIGHT WARMING CENTER EXTENDED TO DAYTIME:
WEST BRANCH LIBRARY THUS OPEN TO ALL FOR WARMING SATURDAY, CLOSED FOR GENERAL USE
We want to thank our partners at the City and Somerville Homeless Coalition for allowing the Libraries to aid in providing shelter to our unhoused residents during this extreme cold. A section of the West Branch Library began serving as an overnight warming center for persons experiencing homelessness last night. We will keep that function running 24/7 until Sunday morning. All other persons are also welcome to use the library for warming from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. But we will be closed for general library use otherwise on Saturday. The East and Central Branches will open as planned and are available to all for warming. Please see www.somervillema.gov/cold for additional warming centers. If you see an unhoused person outside or anyone in distress in the extreme cold, call 911 right away. Minutes matter at extreme temperatures.
