The Literary Garden at the Guilderland Public Library was in full bloom on Saturday with music, crafts, a guided book hike, and a scavenger hunt. The Flower Festival celebrated the library’s summer reading program, which followed a “Color Our World” theme set by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for libraries across the nation. The IMLS is facing defunding and closure because of an executive order from the Trump administration calling for its elimination, which is being challenged in court.
