Edible Science Books or Hungry Scientists Needed!

This Wednesday, April 1,  is the third Edible Books festival held at Collins Library! The annual Edible Books Festival pays homage to Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, nineteenth century author of The Phyisiology of Taste, and we invite you to participate, as a creator of an edible book, a viewer, or a tea-drinker.

It would be great to see the sciences represented there, both in edible book form or visitor form. I can promise at least one science-related tome… but the more the merrier!

Events will be held throughout the day:

Entry Drop-Off
Between 7:30 – 11 am
Show Hours
11 am – 4 pm
People’s Choice Voting
11 am – 12:40 pm
Awards Ceremony
12:45 pm (Tea & a specially prepared edible book will be served.)

You can  follow us on Twitter or keep on top of updates streamed to the library news page!

As an added incentive, Best Student Entry wins a $25 gift certificate to the UPS bookstore—all others can win the glory of being “Most Delicious,” “Most Creative,” or “Most Literary”!

Patt Leonard, Collins Library, (253) 879-2651.
