Latest news, weather and high school sports for Albany and Southwest Georgia

When the shelters close some homeless travel to air conditioned businesses like supermarkets, while others seek shade. One of the more popular destination for the homeless seems to be the public library where they can get in the air condition and take advantage of some of the resources.

Library Director Ashley Moore says "the libraries are open for everyone, we’re here for our community and invite everyone to come in. We have a lot of things to help you beat the heat while you’re in here. Computers are available to individuals, we have magazines and news papers as well as our books."

For the homeless who are looking to get back on their feet, the Salvation Army, Day Center, and Albany Rescue Mission all offer programs to help them do so while beating the heat.
