The Clarendon Hills Library is seeking clever cooks and hungry readers to participate in the second annual Edible Book Contest on Saturday, July 13th--a celebration of literature, art and food.
What is an edible book? It's any representation of a book title that is made primarily from edible materials. It can be as fancy as an elaborately decorated cake or as simple as a hot dog in a beer mug (Frankenstein?). This is a chance to have fun and be creative. For more ideas, just search "edible books" on your computer.
Awards will be made in the following categories: Children entering 5th grade or younger, young adults entering grades 6-12, college age and up, and families. There will also be a "People's Choice" award voted on by the public.
To receive a reminder email or phone call before the event, you may register at www.clarendonhillslibrary.org, although pre-registration is not required. Entries should be dropped off at the library between 11 am and noon on Saturday, July 13th. Awards will be given out at 2 pm, and then the feasting will begin! For more information, check the library's website, or call 630-323-8188.
