2025 Edible Book Fest and Mrs. K's Birthday

The 2025 Edible Book Fest was not only a celebration of its 10th year displaying cakes and other yummy foods inspired by books but also a celebration of Mrs. Augusta R. Kolwyck birthday. Mrs. Kolwyck was the first librarian at Chattanooga State and October 27th would have been her 123rd birthday. The library at Chattanooga State is named after Mrs. Kolwyck. We celebrated her memory with a big cake and a display of newspaper articles!

 

Our judges this year were Susan Jennings, Karen Eastman, and Samantha Smith!

 

 

We had a large crowd to help eat the cake and other goodies after the judging and winners were announced. Thank you to our judges, attendees, participants, and of course, our fabulous library events team!
