Happy Easter to all who observe the Christian religious holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion. Happy Spring to all Saugus residents, who will get to experience the wonderful fragrance and colors of the daffodils, tulips, lilies and other flowers this weekend – both indoors and outdoors. It’s time for “Books in Bloom”! If you love flowers and you love reading books, there’s still time to participate in that fun, special spring event that creates special floral arrangements in the Saugus Public Library. Next Friday (April 5) through Saturday (April 6), the library will host the popular “Books in Bloom,” which matches up a book’s title, book jacket or theme with fresh plant material – flowers or foliage. The event is co-sponsored by the Saugus Garden Club and New Friends of the Saugus Public Library. There is an exhibitors meeting tomorrow (Saturday, March 30), from 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Setup and staging will take place next Thursday (April 4). And the show is scheduled for next Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and next Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Entry forms must be submitted by next Tuesday (April 2). Entry submissions may be made via phone to Lorrain DiMilla (781-233-7541) or Donna Manoogian (781-233-5640). You may also call 617-2409003 for details. And even if you are not interested in entering “Books in Bloom,” it’s worth your while to stop by the library next Friday-Saturday to check out the wide assortment of floral arrangements created in harmony with a book. Some of these creative people plan their flower arrangements to match up with a book they already have. Others prefer to go looking for the book to match up with the flowers. Children from grades five and under and young adults from grades six and up are encouraged to participate. People of all ages are welcome. As far as I’m concerned, the library never looks so beautiful as when it hosts the two days of “Books in Bloom.” The library truly does a lot to become a versatile, cultural center of Saugus, especially the periodic indoor and outdoor concerts it sponsors. If you happen to be at the library tomorrow for the exhibitors meeting for “Books in Bloom,” you ought to hang around for some classical music. The Community Room will become a concert hall for an hour tomorrow (Saturday, March 30) as the New England Conservatory’s Trio Lumos performs from 2 to 3 p.m. This concert is free and open to the public. Stay tuned for more concert offerings from the library. We have a winner!
