CHARLESTON – Booth Library is sponsoring its 11th annual Edible Book Festival as part of National Library Week. For the second year, this year’s festival will be a week-long virtual event.

Submissions will be accepted through Friday, April 2, at 4 p.m. Voting will open at noon on Monday, April 5, and close at 5 p.m. Thursday, April 8. Winners will be announced on Friday, April 9.

To enter or for more information, visit https://eiu.libguides.com/ediblebooks2021. The three entries that receive the most votes will receive prizes.
