Columbus Day: What's Open, What's Not
Check our list of closed offices and save yourself a trip to a locked door Monday.
Columbus Day Weekend is upon us, and in addition to its coinciding with Autumnfest festivities, the holiday, observed on Monday, is also a federal holiday.
That means city offices are going to be closed, as will the Woonsocket Harris Public Library. Their hours today are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and they're not open on Sundays, so today is your last chance to drop off a due book or collect some good novels or movies for the long weekend.
