Kolwyck Library & Information Commons invites you to celebrate the 60th anniversary of ChattState and the birthday of our first librarian, Augusta R. Kolwyck, with our 10th Annual Edible Book Festival on Monday, October 27 from 1pm - 3pm!
What is the Edible Book Festival? Simply put, an edible creation based on a book. To celebrate the 60th anniversary, we invite you to base your literary edible creation on your favorite book published in the last 60 years. We're excited to see what fantastic, literary-inspired baked creations our students, faculty, and staff can create! Here are some examples:
First image: The Very Hungry Caterpillar; second image: The Shire from The Lord of the Rings; third image: Alice in Wonderland
Don't have time to enter? Join us at the event for you can vote for your favorite creation and we will have guest judges for special prizes. Coffee and a birthday cake for Mrs. Kolwyck will be served, and after winners are announced, the edible creations can be devoured!
Sign up to participate in the festival (no later than 12pm on Tuesday, October 21, 2025) and compete for prizes and bragging rights! Or join us on October 27 from 1pm - 3pm to vote for your favorites and...eat cake!
Need baking ideas? We have cookbooks on display - come check it out!
