5 Things To Know Today: Feb. 10

All Sorts At Mohr: The library has a whole list of activities today, including a three-fer:

• Valentine's party for 2- and 3-year-olds from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
• Urban Legends for grades 6 through 12 at 3 p.m.
• Reader's Lair for kids in kindergarten through second grade at 6:30 p.m.

... And did you know you can check out books, both bound and digital? Mohr lends e-readers to use with the new e-book system.

Lift A Pint, Help The Team: The Johnston-North Providence Hockey Parent Association is scheduled to host a night of comedy at Rhode Island Alehouse, 1200 Hartford Avenue (where something else used to be; 5 points if you know what it was, and no cheating) to benefit the co-op boys' hockey team that represents the two towns. Tix are $15; comedy by Mike Murray and friends. Maybe you can catch them mis-pronouncing "puck," or explaining another meaning for the term "Cougars," aside from the hockey team's nickname.

Trip For Seniors: The Senior Center is the departure point for a special Valentine's trip for seniors, leaving at 11 a.m. Cost is $26 and includes meal, entertainment, and — oh, yeah — the bus.

Today In History: Not sure why Royal Albert Hall would have a problem with him, but in 1971, the performance venue banned Frank Zappa from playing a scheduled concert. Hang on, "The Clap" wasn't about a standing ovation?! (From Brainyhistory.com)
