There are many locations where warming stations will be available including the Perry Public Library, the Adel Public Library, the Minburn Public Library, the Roy R Estate Memorial Library in Dallas Center, the Dexter Public Library, and the Redfield Public Library. Royer announces that the warming stations are for individuals looking for a place to avoid the bitter conditions. She indicates that the warming stations will be in effect until Tuesday.
