Go to the library and eat a book! The Edible Book is an international event that began in Santa Monica, California in 1999, where people use food to create representations of books, either a specific title or a generic “book.’ Events are usually held at the beginning of April to honor French gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), who was born on April 1. Public libraries have hosted Edible Book events in towns as far-flung as Bowdoinham, Maine; Northampton, Massachusetts; Groton, Connecticut; Coconut Grove, Florida; Kirkland, Ohio; and Kearney, Nebraska.
Judges come up with creative award categories, and after the award presentations, everyone gets to eat the entries. If you want to make it a fundraiser, you can charge to attend or to submit an entry. But money doesn’t need to change hands to have a successful Edible Book event. And if your library doesn’t allow food consumption, you can hold the event in a nearby venue.
