Inspired by what is known as the "International Edible Book Festival," the Hooksett Library will host its own Edible Book Festival as part of its annual Open House celebration on Saturday, May 5. Individuals or groups are cordially invited to participate by submitting their own edible book creations. All edible books must be "bookish" through the integration of text (for example: "20,000 Leeks Under the Sea," "Spamalot," "Don Quicheote," or "Booklava."), literary inspiration and/or simply the shape, and finally, must be family-friendly. Participants are asked to register by April 28th and may enter up to three submissions. The participants will be divided into three categories: youth, adults (18 and older), and groups such as businesses or schools. Gold, silver, and bronze awards will be given to the top three entries in each category. The general public in attendance will fulfill the role of judges. Event Schedule: setup from 9-10:30, judging from 10:30 -12, presentation of awards from 12:15-12:30 , and then eating the goods after the awards. To register or make further inquiries, contact us at 485-6092. Admission is free. For samples of edible books, click here.
