RON SWARNER: THE INCREDIBLE, EDIBLE BOOK >>>

Ediblebk2009 Collins Memorial Library at the University of Puget Sound dedicates itself to protecting books, but come April 1 (no joke) it will eat them at the University's third Edible Book Festival.

Eat this up:

For the third consecutive year, Collins Memorial Library will participate in the international edible book festival. There are few restrictions in creating an edible book â€" namely that it's made of food and is inspired by a book. Past entries have included such delicious titles as: Green Eggs and Ham, Olive or Twist, and Sisterhood of the Traveling Ants.

This year, entries will be judged in categories: "Most Delicious," "Most Creative," "Most Literary," and "Best Student Entry." (This one being awarded a $25 gift card to the UPS Bookstore.)


Drop by on April Fool’s Day and browse for a story you can really dig into.

[Collins Memorial Library, Wednesday, April 1, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., entry drop-off 7:30-11:30 a.m., people’s choice voting 11 a.m. to 12:40 p.m., awards ceremony 12:45 p.m., University of Puget Sound, 1500 N. Warner, Tacoma, 253. 879.2651
