Here is a list of four things you need to know for Wednesday, April 18.
Project Chick
Casey Farm will visit the Jesse Smith Library Children’s Department on Wednesday, April 18 at 10:30 a.m. to teach visitors about chickens and eggs.

Following this presentation, an incubator with eggs in the will be place in the children’s room and guests are invited to come back in three weeks to watch them hatch.
Burrillville NOW
There’s a new source of news and information in northern Rhode Island, and it is on track to highlight all of the great community events, people and progress in the small town of Burrillville.
Burrillville NOW has launched online and while the site is still under construction, residents can expect to start seeing us at government meetings and local events often in the upcoming weeks. Have a news tip? Send it to sandy@nrinow.news.
Cat found
A black cat took up residence in a garage in the 900 block of Sherman Farm Road in late November 2017. She has an ear tip, and is a spayed female, about 1-2 years old. According to Burrillville Animal Control, the cat is semi-feral and the party who has been caring for her is now able to handle her.
Anyone who might be missing the cat is instructed to call David at 401-374-2191.
