Happy Presidents Day
Monday, February 16, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
Today, the Austin Monitor staff will be off contemplating American presidents. We hope that you enjoy our holiday edition as much as the day off, and we will return Tuesday with even more content. City of Austin administrative offices and other municipal facilities will be closed today. According to the city’s website, closures include: Austin public libraries, Watershed Protection, recreation centers, museums, cultural arts centers, Household Hazardous Waste Center, EMS administrative offices and City of Austin Utility Walk-In Payment Centers. However, trash and recycling pickup, Zilker Botanical Gardens, the Austin Nature and Science Center, city-operated golf courses, Barton Springs and Bartholomew and Deep Eddy pools will operate regular hours.
