Take your WSU Mom to the Edible Book Festival April 7

The second annual WSU Libraries’ Edible Book Festival takes place from 2:30-4 p.m. Friday, April 7, in the Terrell Library Atrium, part of WSU Mom’s Weekend activities.

Edible book festivals take place around the country and world to celebrate books, art, food and culture. Entry rules are simple: Submissions must be made from edible materials and somehow relate to a book or author.

WSU’s festival begins with public viewing and judging at 2:30 p.m., with winners announced at 3:30 p.m.. Awards will be given for people’s choice, best visual presentation and punniest/funniest. Refreshments will be available.

“Celebrity judges” for the event will be Anna Maria Shannon, associate director of the WSU Museum of Art; Jamie Kohler, executive chef for WSU Dining Services’ university catering unit; Joanna Bailey, director of Pullman’s Neill Public Library; and Sarah Frame English, a WSU alumna, donor and librarian with the Libraries of Stevens County (Wash.).
