Update from our Government Information Librarian:

We are expecting to see some intense winter weather this weekend. It is suggested that by 5 p.m. on Friday, you should be where you plan to stay for the weekend. Everyone will be going for grocery staples.

Here are some other things you can do to prepare:
• Make sure your cars have a full tank of gas.
• Make sure phones and electronics are charged.
• Keep a battery-powered radio ready to go (with fresh batteries).
• Make sure you have enough of your prescription medications.
• Fill jugs, buckets and bathtubs with water for flushing and washing.
• Know where your water shut off valve and breaker box are before the storm starts.
• Freeze some water bottles and have an empty cooler ready to fill with food and put outside if the power goes out for a long time.
• Refresh the batteries in your flashlights
• Make sure you have enough pet food.
• Open your cabinet doors under faucets to warm them up and leave faucets dripping

As we prepare for what looks like a significant winter storm, please note the following available warming stations.
