By Michelle McKinney, Reference and Web Services Librarian<\/p>\n

When Melissa Norris asked if I would like to serve as a judge for the 2016\u00a0Edible Books contest held on April 1st at the University of Cincinnati Libraries’ Langsam Library, I happily (and hungrily) agreed.<\/p>\n

This was my first time attending the event let alone judging it. I was completely blown away by the creativity and complexity of some of the entries. It was truly a challenge for me and fellow judge, Michael Alfieri, to fairly assess and assign winners for 15 categories which included: Most Gruesome, Most Literary, Most Whimsical and Best Overall.<\/p>\n

All those in attendance had the chance to taste the literary creations which included\u00a0cheese balls, fruits, \u00a0veggies, cakes and cookies. Did I mention how tasty the entries were as well?<\/p>\n
