Librarians Rule!

This theme party is actually the reason I decided to begin this blog. As I will be graduating very shortly with my Masters in Library and Information Studies, and as my friend April finished hers up in May, we decided that our party before I moved away should be library-themed. My first move was to google ideas. Other than ideas from the Edible Book Festival (which is full of great ideas, by the way), I could not find anything that was more generally library-related. So, April and I were basically left to our own devices and were forced to use our imaginations. But what followed was tons of fun, and I was very pleased with the turn-out! We incorporated some ideas from the Edible Book Festival, but we made it our own as well. We tried to find books that could be applied to our dishes, but we also tried to use library-terms as well. Check out our menu, and then visit the slide show at the bottom. Once our menu was decided, I thought it would be fun to make little flags explaining each of our menu items in our table-scape (to use Sandra Lee's term). I figured this way we could even get a little bit of an education in some form or another :).
