Duke held its annual "Edible Book Festival" April 2

Every year, Duke Libraries hosts an Edible Book Festival to benefit the Library Memorial Fund. In its seventh year, the festival hosted numerous food-based creations that reflected famous books or book titles. Students, faculty and staff provided entries made of a variety of items - from turnips to fresh fish.

During the event, visitors vote for which entry is the most or least edible as well as the "punniest."
