The Rubí City Council has strengthened its network of climate shelters by incorporating the Mestre Martí Tauler Library. This building will provide a comfortable and air-conditioned space during the summer months, specifically designed for those times of day when the heat is most intense.
It is important to distinguish between the building's opening hours as a climate shelter and its usual library service hours. The space will be open from Mondays to Fridays, from 10 AM to 2 PM and from 3:30 PM to 8:30 PM, to ensure protection from the heat. However, the Library will maintain its own summer schedule, which may vary during certain periods.
This initiative is part of the municipal effort to expand indoor and outdoor spaces that offer favorable environmental conditions during extreme temperature episodes. These shelters are designed to protect the most vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, or people with chronic illnesses, although they are open to the entire population.
The primary function of climate shelters is to allow for rest, hydration, and the recovery of thermal comfort, thereby contributing to reducing the adverse effects of extreme temperatures on health and providing safe alternatives during adverse weather conditions.
Detailed information about the network of climate shelters in Rubí, including locations, available services, and updated schedules, can be found on the municipal website at [www.rubi.cat/refugisclimatics](http://www.rubi.cat/refugisclimatics).
