Now that the sun has been replaced by clouds, just a reminder that the Edible Books contest is on Tuesday - what a great project for a grey & rainy Sunday afternoon! 

Questions?  Send us an email (we will be checking email periodically today):  childrensroom@harvardpubliclibrary.org, or call the Children's Room on Monday:  (978) 456 - 2381.

We can't wait to see what everyone creates!!!

Edible Books Contest

Tuesday, April 2 from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Get creative with food and literature!  Create something with food to represent a book: you could create a broccoli forest for Where the Wild Things Are, or bake an Elephant and Piggie cake for the Elephant and Piggie books.  Or perhaps you’re a fan of Moby Dick – you could decorate a whale-shaped cookie.  The only two guidelines are that your entry be made of food and related somehow to books.

There will be three age categories: Kids, Teen, and Adult.

Entries will be displayed in Volunteers Hall for the day of April 2; drop off your entry when the library opens at 10:00 AM, and pick your entry up by 7:00 PM.

Voting: there will be paper ballot slips for voting in the library.  The day of the event, voters can look at the entries in person; for a week after the event, there will be photos of the entries in the Children’s Room.  Voting will stay open for a week, through April 9!

Voting will decide the winner for each age category – winners get bragging rights and an awesome 1st place ribbon!
