5 Things: Normal Hours Resume, Finnerty's Hearing, Internet Safety Talk and More

1. Back to Normal. After being closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, normal hours resume today for the Wayland Public Library and Wayland Public Schools as well as state and federal offices. The Wayland Town Building will be open until 7 p.m. today.

2. Finnerty's Hearing and Other Meetings. The Planning Board will once again be talking about the Finnerty's redevelopment tonight. In addition, the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, Board of Public Works and several other boards and committees are scheduled to meet tonight. Check out the Town of Wayland calendar for details and agendas.

3. Kids and Internet Safety. Wayland resident Tony Loftis will be at the Wayland Public Library tonight to talk with parents about how to recognize some possible dangerous behaviors of kids online. He will offer tips for establishing safe online behaviors among children.

4. Find Us on Facebook. Are you following Wayland Patch on Facebook? If not, you could be missing out on up-to-the-minute updates on news important to you in Wayland.

5. Because We Know You'll Want to Celebrate Next Year, we offer the news that yesterday, Jan. 21, was Squirrel Appreciation Day. Admittedly, there were other things going on yesterday (Presidential Inauguration, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, etc.), but the squirrel should not go unrecognized. And no, we didn't make this up -- a wildlife rehabilitator in North Carolina did.
