  • It can look like a book, refer to a character, be a pun on a title etc.
  • It can be as fancy as a decorated cake or as simple as a bowl of grapes (The grapes of wrath?)
  • Check out some of last year’s entries.

How does the contest work?

  • Deliver your entry to either the Cherrydale or Shirlington between 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 1.

    Thanks for adding the Shirlington location! It was a fun visit to the library today, and so neat to see everyone’s creativity and love for books!

    Thank you so much for holding the edible book competition. I enjoyed participating. I made a book, Oh, the Places You’ll Go, for Dr. Seuss’ birthday celebration that my Kindergarten students loved eating today on their return to school. I also was inspired by the clever creations of others, and look forward to doing it again next year. I’m sorry I was not able to hang out before the award ceremony, but I had an appointment in DC that I could not cancel.

    I would be very happy to advertise it at my school next year. I love the Shirlington library! You are doing a great job!
