Calling All Peeps

I was surprised and very pleased when one of our patrons told me that her sister was trying to arrange her visit from out west to coincide with the Library's Peeps Show contest which will begin April 5th.

The Peeps are beginning to show up in local stores so now is the time to go out and capture some so you can enter our Peeps Show Contest. What you do is build a diorama using peeps of any color in a standard size shoe box. The theme is up to you; recreate a favorite scene from a movie or book, use your peeps as social commentary, or re-enact a current or historic event.

Anyone 18 or older is invited to compete in the Adult Division, while peeps, er, people 13- 18 may enter the Teen division. Children ages 4 – 7 are invited to enter the Kids Division, and ages 8 – 12 may enter in the Youth Division.

All Peeps displays may be dropped off at the Dover Public Library beginning Monday, April 5th, through Saturday, April 10th during operating hours. The Peeps will be displayed in the library throughout National Library Week for all to enjoy. Prizes will be awarded on Friday afternoon, April 16^th. Peeps should be picked up Tuesday, April 20th. All Peeps not picked up by the deadline will be discarded or eaten.
