City Library Reopens to Aid Hurricane Milton Victims with Charging Stations, WiFi, and Air ConditioningSource: City of Altamonte Springs

In the wake of Hurricane Milton's disruption, the City Library serves as a beacon of resolve, opening its doors to provide more than just books. As the City of Altamonte Springs reported, the city library will reopen to offer crucial amenities to those affected by the widespread power outages.

Starting on Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and continuing into the weekend, access to charging stations for electronics, public computers, and WiFi will be available. In addition, having lived through a Florida summer, I know the value of a calm space. The library will also provide a refreshing escape with air conditioning – a simple yet profound luxury for those whose homes have been muted by outages.

Those seeking relief can expect modified hours for the upcoming weekend. The City Library will operate from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and extend those hours until 6 p.m. today. Along with extended services, the library will continue offering its regular resources, keeping its role as a center for learning intact. Visitors can still access books, magazines, and more in a comfortable, climate-controlled space.
