Books in BloomMay 4, 2019 at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Books in Bloom, a friend-raising initiative of Friends of the Library - Gustavus Library Associates, will open on Honors Weekend, May 3-5, at the Folke Bernadotte Memorial Library on the campus of Gustavus Adolphus College.

Modeled after Art in Bloom, the annual spring event celebrated by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Books in Bloom, will highlight approximately 20 books, media, technology, and other resource materials within the library with specially-designed floral arrangements.

The floral arrangements, called blooms, will be on display in the library on Friday, May 3 from 3-5 p.m; Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; and Sunday, May 5 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. The event is open to the public at no charge. A map of the "bloom" sites will be available for viewing throughout the weekend.
