BRIDGEPORT — Transit stations, libraries and other community areas across Connecticut have become havens for those looking to come in out of the cold. On Wednesday at the Bridgeport Public Library’s main branch, Brendan, who asked that his last name not be used, said many of the city’s homeless make their way there when temperatures dive far below freezing. “I see people that start in the morning — and I did this myself when I was homeless — they start out at the rescue mission down on Fairfield Avenue ... and they work their way up,” he said. With temperatures in the low 20s and below, the library is among the city’s official warming centers, offering limited hours of refuge to anyone who wants it.
