Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Monday, January 15, 2018 by Elizabeth Pagano
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and that means a number of local offices and services are closed in its observance. Today’s Austin Monitor is a bit shorter, and we will return to regular publishing tomorrow, on Tuesday. City of Austin administrative offices and other municipal facilities will be closed today. These closures include libraries, museums and recreation centers. Trash and recycling collection will not be impacted. The MLK Community March begins at 9 a.m. More details are available online here.
