A book display titled 'The Enchanting Blossoms' is now being held in the Ma On Shan Public Library until the end of March, showcasing books on azalea and gardening. A related booklist is also available for public reference. It is one of the library programmes to tie in with the 4th Ma On Shan Azalea Festival this March. Other programme highlights included a subject talk on azaleas, a virtual 3D animated film show - 'The Adventure of the Three Ma On Shan Mascots' and an exhibition on Running Sheets of the New Stamp Issue of 'Hong Kong Flowers', all recently held on 15 March at the library.
