It is a celebration held around the world on April Fool’s Day – the International Edible Books Festival. For the sixth consecutive year, University Libraries participate
d in this gastronomic affair with an event held in Langsam Library April 3, 2007. UC students, faculty, and staff made edible creations in the likeness of or inspired by books. A record 24 “authors” created edible tomes such as The Three Little Pigs and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Ivanhoe. The entries were judged by Donna Hamilton, UC’s Assistant Vice President for Web Communications, and Jerry Newman, University Libraries’ Assistant Dean for Collection Development. Among the prizes awarded 
were those for the Most Edible, Most Creative, Most Bookish, and Most Mysterious.
