It’s the event you’ve been waiting for all year. Or perhaps the event you didn’t even realize you’d been waiting for!
Join us for Chatham’s 6th annual celebration of the International Edible Book Festival! Wednesday, March 29th from 4:30-5:30 in the Lobby of the JKM Library.
What’s an edible book, you ask? It’s up to you! It may be food that looks like a book:
Food that was described or consumed by characters in a book:
A fun interpretation of the title of a book:
And whatever else you might think of!
Full details of the event can be found in the Chatham Happenings. Please join us – create your own book to enter for a chance to win one of 5 amazing prizes! Or just come for the free food and to vote for your favorite.
Hope to see you there!
Our 6th annual celebration of the International Edible Book Festival was a really fun event! If you missed it, here are the highlights.
We had three fantastic judges: Dr. Carrie Tippen, Dr. Heather McNaugher, & Sophie Slesinger who, after some very serious deliberation, selected four of our five prizewinning edible books:
Best Tasting
Maryem Aslam, Harry Potter (chocolate oreo ball snitches)
Most Sustainable
Molly Tighe, Seitanic VS (Satanic Verses)
Most Creative Literary Interpretation
Kate Emory, Julius Caesar
Grand Prize:
Amy Lee Heinlen, A Good Man is Hard to Find
The final prize was determined by the attendees, who voted for their favorite book. The winner of this popular vote prize was:
Maria, Trump: The Art of the Deal
Everyone seemed to have a great time and the library lobby was packed:

Also, fun fact: The Wikipedia page for the Edible Book Festival has featured a book from our 2012 event since April 2013 (and we didn’t add it!)! We’re famous!
If you missed this year’s event, don’t worry! There’s always next year, and you can even start planning your entry now. All Chatham students, staff, and faculty are invited to submit an edible book.
