Milligan Library Life

by the staff of P.H. Welshimer Memorial Library & Seminary Library

12th Annual Edible Books Festival returns in person to Welshimer Library!

After two years in virtual lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic (in 2020 and 2021), the 12th Annual Edible Books Festival returned this week in person to Welshimer Library.

“Edible Books is always a fun event. But it was especially great to have it back in person this year,” says Research and Instruction Librarian, Mary Jackson, who took the lead in this year’s festival planning. “Not only was it like old times, we were reminded that Edible Books is both fun and delicious!”

As the name suggests, the focus of our Edible Books Festival, built on a similarly named international event, invites Milligan University students, faculty, staff, and family members to create edible treats with a book theme. Our first festival was held in 2011 and it quickly became a Spring tradition, following on the heels of our February Library Pen Madness Tournaments. The Festival also often attracts entries from the Humanities Creativity Project and the Psi Chi Psychology Honor Society.

The Milligan community votes on favorite entries within the categories of Funniest/Punniest, Most Creative, Overall Favorite. Then library staff cast votes for the Tastiest before opening all the submissions to the community for sampling. Yum!

This year we had twelve entries in all categories. Voting was brisk with every entry receiving votes. This year’s winners, receiving Dunkin’ gift cards are:

Overall Favorite and Most Creative: Harry Potter and the Hor D’oeuvres of the Phoenix by Kristy Lundholm (wife of math professor Ian Lundholm)

Funniest/Punniest: How to Analyze Peeps by Psi Chi (Milligan’s Psychology Honor Society) members

Tastiest: Dante’s Inferno by Daniela Martinez Lopez, Humanities Creativity Project

Therapy Dogs back in force during Finals Week!

Although it may be premature to say things are back to normal, it was certainly wonderful to see at least one in-person or “in-canine” tradition return to the Welshimer Library this week. After a two year hiatus, Therapy Dogs were back to visit with students and provide some much needed stress relief during Monday through Wednesday of Finals Week!

Themselves having missed the opportunity to visit with folks in hospitals, personal care homes, and schools during the worst of the pandemic, the therapy dogs and their owners were back in force. During morning and afternoon slots over the course of our three days, I counted seven dogs among five owner/trainers here to visit.

Most of the owners are members of a local therapy dog group called Healing Paws, and their dogs are trained and certified by the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. The training of the dogs was clearly evident, as they were all very well behaved.

Students, dogs, and owners all had a great time. Before heading for home, all the owners expressed an interest in returning with their dogs to visit in the Spring. I can’t wait!
