President’s Day
Town Hall and North Smithfield Public Library will be closed on Monday, Feb. 19 in celebration of President’s Day. Trash and recycling pickup will not be affected by the holiday, and collection will follow the normal schedule this week.
Clean up
Volunteers will once again meet to continue the cleanup of Mammoth Mills Park at 9 a.m. to noon on Monday, Feb. 19.
