On Tuesday, April 5, the Edible Books Fest will make its return to the LLCC Library in celebration of National Library Week (April 3-9). Celebrating the joy of food and literature through this event is so much fun, but we need you to make an edible book.

What is an edible book?

Simply put, an edible book must be edible (no super glue, please) and somehow relate to a book. You can create your edible book out of cake, brownies, tortillas, sushi, bread, etc. The possibilities are limitless! You may choose to have your edible creation look like a book or a book cover, a pun on a book title (think The Scarlet Cheddar instead of the “Scarlet Letter“), create a scene from a book (such as Mount Doom from “Lord of the Rings”).

Your book can be created from homemade or store-bought items. You don’t need to be a culinary genius to participate, just the willingness to do so! Remember, it can be as easy as three 3 Musketeers candy bars on a plate and call it “The Three Musketeers.”

Here’s the event schedule for Tuesday, April 5:

• 7:30-11 a.m. — Participants need to drop off edible book submissions to the LLCC Library.
• 11 a.m.-noon — The public will vote on their two favorite “books.”
• Noon — Announce winners and eat the books!

It can be hard to visualize what an edible book is, so if you have any questions, please reach out to Leslie Ross at leslie.ross@llcc.edu or 217-786-4617.

The LLCC Library invites students and staff to learn more about African-American history from a selection of resources available through the library. In cooperation with the African-American History Month Committee, the LLCC Library has created an online AAHM Guide featuring book collections, subject databases, community resources and links to stream the featured films. You can also stop by and browse featured titles on display throughout the month.

View the walk-through exhibit “Sept. 11, 2001: The Day That Changed the World” yet this week (through Sept. 30) in the LLCC Library. Posters are featured on the square pillars on the first floor, northwest side of the library.

This educational exhibition recounts the events of Sept. 11, 2001 through the personal stories of those who witnessed and survived the attacks. Told across 14 posters, the exhibition includes archival photographs and images of artifacts from the 9/11 Memorial and Museum’s permanent collection. It explores the consequences of terrorism on individual lives and communities at the local, national and international levels, and encourages critical thinking about the legacies of 9/11.

The poster exhibition was made possible through the efforts of Leslie Ross, librarian/professor. It was developed by the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and supported in part by the National Endowment of the Humanities.

You can access “The Chronicle of Higher Education” through the LLCC Library and bookmark it without needing a personal subscription. Below is a short video showing you how. The library purchases a site license that allows all LLCC credentialed people to use the electronic resource. The library also subscribes to the print version, and it is available in the periodical browsing area of the library.
