We celebrate reading and food during National Library Week
at our annual, all-ages, come-as-you-are, read-what-you-like,
eat-what-you-read ...

The Edible Book Feastival is a celebration of libraries, reading and food. What a great combination! Contestants prepare their edible entries based on favorite books, stories, or anything else that's readable. Imagination is encouraged. Our impartial and slightly hungry panel of judges awards prizes in several age categories. After viewing all the entries and congratulating the winners, we get to feast on all the great food!
