WESTBOROUGH — Westborough voters have until Friday to cast ballots early and in person for the state primary, according to this week's Westborough Patch newsletter. The town's civic calendar was otherwise quiet over the past day, with the week's most notable local items centered on the public library and a longtime resident's obituary.
TOWN HALL
Early, in-person voting for the Massachusetts primary "runs through Friday," Westborough Patch reported in its Thursday edition, reminding residents that the window to vote ahead of Election Day is closing out this week. The outlet did not specify polling hours or location in the excerpt available; residents with questions should check with the Town Clerk's office. Westborough's News Flash service also carried updates this week on the I-495/I-90 interchange ramp work and a veterans-outreach program tied to the WooSox, both previously reported, with no new developments since.
COMMUNITY & ARTS
The Westborough Public Library at The Commons has two family programs on tap this week: back-to-back Pattycake Babies sessions Thursday morning at 9:30 and 11 a.m. for the library's youngest visitors, followed by Crafterpalooza, a hands-on craft event, Saturday at 1 p.m.
