Celebrate books good enough to eat at the International Edible Books Festival April 1st<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once again, the University of Cincinnati Libraries will celebrate the International Edible Books Festival with an event scheduled for Tuesday, April 1, from 11 a.m. to noon on the 4th floor of the Walter C. Langsam Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the event, over 20 participants will present edible creations inspired by an book. There are few restrictions in creating an edible book \u2014 namely that the creation be edible and have something to do with a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in past years, entries will be judged according to such categories as Most Literary, Most Delicious, Most Adorable and Most Gruesome. In addition, the Top Student Entry and Best Overall Entry will receive UC merch. After the entries are judged they will be consumed and enjoyed by all in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the International Edible Book Festival website, the edible book was initiated by librarian and artist Judith A. Hoffberg during a 1999 Thanksgiving celebration with book artists. It became an international celebration in 2000 when artist B\u00e9atrice Coron launched the Books2Eat website. Traditionally, the event is celebrated on April 1st (April Fools\u2019 Day) to mark the birthday of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), a French lawyer and politician who became famous for his book, \u201cPhysiologie du gout\u201d (The Physiology of Taste).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Libraries International Edible Books Festival is free and open to the public. Following the event, pictures of the edible books and their awards will be posted on the Libraries Facebook<\/a> page.
