Harris County has opened eight library branches as cooling centers in Houston, Texas for the Memorial Day weekend. These centers will be available from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm from Saturday to Monday to help residents cope with the heat.

Last Thursday's power outages, caused by severe weather, have left many without electricity. In response, Harris County and the City of Houston have set up these cooling centers to provide relief from the hot and humid weather.

During this period, the library branches will not offer regular services, but their meeting rooms will be open to the public as cooling areas.
