Read a cake or eat a book at the Denison University William Howard Doane Library’s sixth annual International Edible Books Festival, at 2:30 p.m., on Wednesday, April 1, in the Library Atrium (400 West Loop). Denison staff, faculty, students and the Granville community are invited to submit an edible art creation or to come and enjoy the food and festivities.

The edible creations will be accepted starting at 2 p.m., ready for viewing at 2:30 and judged at 3. They will be ready for consumption along with a “high tea” sponsored by the library staff as soon as the judging and announcements are complete.

The entries will be judged in several categories, including most creative, best presentation, most “bookish,” most hilarious, and best of show.

The basic rule for all entries is that they be completely edible. It is preferable that they be made of something that can be consumed by the guests after the judging. If serving pieces are required, please be sure they are disposable. The library isn’t responsible for containers, etc. Anything left behind by a book artist will be eaten or discarded.
