The Tuolumne County Administration building will be closed today, except for the Recorder’s Office, which will be open from 11am-2pm. The closure of the other parts of the building is due to the heating system going down last week and a delay in the needed parts arriving. Other, non-emergency, Tuolumne County government buildings will have a 10am delayed opening. Tuolumne County will have warming spots again today at the main Sonora Library from 10am-6pm, the Behavioral Health Enrichment Center from 8am-noon, and the Lambert Community Center from 11am-2pm.
