Feeling creative? Love literature? Register today for the library's 1st Annual Edible Book Festival! Edible Book Festivals are held across the globe on April 1st in honor of French gourmet, Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin's birthday. Contestants bake, cook, or creatively arrange food to look like books, characters, or puns on titles.

On the day of the event, drop off is from 10 AM - 1 PM in the library. Viewing and voting begins at 1 PM, winners are announced at 2 PM, and then bystanders and participants get to eat the entries!
