Are You Coming to the Edible Book Festival?

ediblebooks_button (1)We hope so! This is the first year that CMLE is co-sponsoring and helping to offer this Edible Book event out beyond the St. Cloud State University (SCSU) campus, and we really hope that some staff and/or end users from area libraries and school media centers join us!

Have you always wondered about doing your own Edible Book event in your setting? Participate in ours to get the lay of the land! Looking for an activity to do in your makerspace? Do an edible book entry for April 14th and register as a group; win a group prize!

Prize categories are shown below.  Which category do you think you might have the best chance in winning?

  • Individuals entries will compete for: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place; based on the popular vote of attendees at the event. Individual prizes will be valued at $100, $80, and $65 respectively!
  • SCSU Student Groups ($50 cash; total value of $85) (2nd place, $75 value)
  • Other Group outside of SCSU Student Groups ($85 value)

You only need to register if you are entering an edible creation in the contest. Spectators are encouraged and welcome, bring your friends and family! Everyone will have two hours to vote for favorites on April 14th.

Activities! Wondering what to do during the judging period?  Come to the Miller Center coffee shop (library lobby) and enjoy book-themed music by the campus radio station, KVSC.  There will also be Creation Station table activities to keep those jitters at bay while we wait for the judging results. Just for fun, try your hands-on-skills in several areas, or deduce book titles in a visual edible book trivia activity. But wait, there is more! View the professional entries from five local bakeries too and enjoy refreshments!

How well do you know the Minnesota Digital Library (MDL)? Whether you are just discovering the project or have been a part of it since the beginning, there are many new things to learn about the MDL; what we have been doing, and how we can help you and the audiences you serve. MDL Outreach Coordinator Molly Huber will talk about the MDL and what changes have happened in the past two years, since we became a founding service hub of the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). MDL’s work with the DPLA has opened up many new opportunities for us and the organizations we work with. We have new collections, new contributors, and new initiatives. Learn more, and see how you can be a part of it!

Hey Central MN: You’re Invited to an Edible Book Festival!

ediblebooks_button (1)Save the Date for Some Serious Book Fun in April!

CMLE is pleased to co-sponsor this upcoming SCSU Library event and invites all library/school media staff in Central MN to join in the fun!

WHAT? Create and bring a piece of edible art related to books: it can be a pun on a title, refer to a scene or character, look like a book or somehow be inspired by a book. All materials must be edible – but may or may not taste good together; tastiness receives no points! No time to create? Come as a spectator, vote for your favorites, and take in additional entertainment, treats, and fun. (No registration required for spectators)

WHO? Whether you’re library staff, a voracious reader, professional chef, starving artist, and/or someone who just likes to play with their food, you’re eligible to join in the fun! Group entries are welcome too, so consider creating your entry with colleagues!

Get all of the details here!
