The library held its first ever Edible Books Contest this month! Patrons and staff were encouraged to submit entries that were related to books (somehow) and made of food. We’re pleased to report that our community and library are full of creative food artists! Check out the entries here and vote on your favorites when you stop by the library (ballots are available at the Information Desk) through the end of October! [fsg_gallery id=”22″]

In honor of national pizza month, we read books about pizza, including “Secret Pizza Party”, which is about a raccoon who just wants to enjoy some pizza like everyone else. After talking about our favorite pizzas, we made our own pizza craft that looked good enough to eat! Enjoy!! [fsg_gallery id=”24″]

Kids continue to gather for two sessions each month to show off their imagination and building skills with the library’s Legos. Check out their creations! [fsg_gallery id=”25″]
