ArtinBloom3-04-11-13Southborough Gardeners join forces with the art students of Algonquin Regional High School and present Art in Bloom at the Southborough Library. The gala reception on Thursday evening, April 11  was well attended. The photo on the right is just one example of the 27 pieces on display at the Library until Saturday, April 13, at 5:00. It is plain to see that there is a lot of talent in the town of Southborough.

Come by to see the Art in Bloom on Friday, April 12: our fourth annual Tea and Poetry event takes place in the main reading room of the Library from 3:00-4:30 p.m. Arrive early for a good seat, as this is a popular event. Hear poetry on the theme of flora and fauna, and enjoy a right spot of tea with us.  Our thanks to Prudence Webster, Friends of the Southborough Library Treasurer, for putting the poetry reading together again this year.
