Calling All Peeps!

The Dover Public Library is looking for some creative peeps from Dover, Dover students, or Dover Public Library cardholders to enter our fourth annual “Peeps Show” contest this April.

Here’s how it works: Build a diorama using peeps of any color in a standard size shoe box. The theme is literary; recreate a scene from your favorite book. The first 16 entries will receive a free plush Peep bunny or chick!

Anyone 19 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. 

On the back of your shoe box, please include your name, address, phone number, and title of your “Peeps Show”. All Peeps displays may be dropped off at the Dover Public Library beginning Monday, March 26, through Saturday, March 31st during operating hours. The Peeps will be displayed in the library for all to enjoy. Prizes will be awarded Monday afternoon, April 9th. Winning entries will receive a $25 Target gift card. Peeps should be picked up Thursday, April 12th. All Peeps not picked up by the deadline will be discarded or eaten.  For more information, call 516-6082.
