Edible Book Fair – Discover the Magic of Libraries

…Sponsored by the Atchison, Nortonville and Effingham libraries.

No, that doesn’t mean you’ll get to eat books!!!

But, you can create a piece of edible art (if you need inspiration just GOOGLE “edible book fair”) based on a book title, cover image, a specific scene, character or even a funny play on words by using vegetables, sugar, cheese, chocolate … anything edible. Entries will be judged and prizes awarded.

As part of this unique event, at 2:00 we will feature Magician BJ Talley in a special magical show.

Also featured will be demonstrations of cupcake decorating and vegetable carving.

Anyone can enter so put on your chef’s hat and get busy, then get registered for this special event!! Details and entry forms are available at any of the participating libraries.  Sorry, phone-in entries will not be accepted, you must come to one of the libraries to enter.  For additional information call 913-367-1902 and ask for Cheryl or email csylvester@atchisonlibrary.org or aparton@atchisonlibrary.org.

Goin’ on Vacation

We’ve had a really fun and successful Summer Reading this year, and our Storytimes made a big “SPLASH” with everyone.  But now it’s over and we need a little time off to get ready for Fall.  So, Storytime will be on vacation all through the month of August.  But be ready to start back up on Wednesday, September 1st.  We’ll have a great line up of fun books to read, crafts to do and other things for the coming year.  See you in September, Miss Cheryl, Miss BettySue and Miss Mary.
