East Providence Library To Host 'Virtual' Easter Egg Hunt

EAST PROVIDENCE, RI — Although East Providence children may not be able to get together for Easter egg hunts this year due to social distancing, the East Providence Public Library is providing a way for them to search for eggs in the safety of their own homes. From Thursday through Sunday, the library website will have an activity where hidden "eggs" can be found virtually

The website will have 10 "eggs" embedded in it. Once they are found, children can fill out a form or a special surprise.
