Join the 5th Annual Peeps Show at the Library!

Peeps marshmallow candy

Hey Literary Peeps! In the spirit of Washington Post's classic contest, Bud Werner Library is hosting our own book-inspired peeps diorama competition. All ages are invited to participate!

How to Participate

  1. This is an all-ages event! Imagine a book or literary scene in peeps. Then sketch some ideas -- and we strongly encourage puns in diorama concepts and titles.
  2. Stop by the Library Children's Desk and pick up a pack-of-peeps starter kit, available for all you Book Peeps while supplies last.
  3. Make your diorama using a shoe box or comparable item of reasonable size. Your diorama must be transportable to the library by one person. Melt, mold and manipulate those fluffy chicks and bunnies to bring your creative vision to life. If you don’t know how to make a diorama, Google “how to make a diorama.”
  4. Deliver your diorama to the Library Children's Desk , including your contact info (phone number and email), name of the diorama, and the names and ages of anybody who contributed to the diorama, attached to it.

Deadline for submissions

  • The deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. on Friday, April 11.
  • Deliver your diorama to the Library Children's Desk, including your contact info (phone number and email), and the names and ages of anybody who contributed to the diorama, attached to it.
