City leaders celebrated the groundbreaking for construction on 34th Street this Wednesday, one of 17 projects funded through Lubbock’s 2022 street bond. Our Bishop Van Buren reports officials are urging drivers to be patient and careful as work begins. And Lubbock's public libraries will serve as warming centers throughout the weekend. All branch libraries will offer free water, wi-fi, and charging stations during qualifying weather conditions on Friday from noon to 6 P.M. and Saturday from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. With only the Mahon Library open Sunday from 1 to 5 P.M.
