1. Happy anniversary to local photographer and fundraiser Kim Rosen, who created Photos for a Cure exactly two years ago. Since then, Rosen has done more than 90 photo shoots and raised more than $8,000 for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Rosen told Patch what inspired the organization last fall and said she was looking for more photographers to help join the cause.

3. One thing we know you won’t be doing is going to the library. The Marlborough Public Library will be closed the entire weekend. When it reopens on Tuesday morning, it and 134 other libraries in the state will be running on new software. The new platform for searching and reserving materials is called Evergreen and will offer features such shareable reading lists.

4. Framingham Town Meeting members approved the tax increment financing (TIF) program designed to keep retailer TJX Corporation's headquarters in that town. TJX purchased former Fidelity buildings in Marlborough, property it will use for expansion.
