Celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month with delicious ice cream!
Anchorage Public Library and Wild Scoops are partnering up to create a book-themed ice cream flavor—but we need your help!
STEP 1: DREAM IT
Contestants thought up their very own ice cream flavor inspired by their favorite childhood books for a chance to see it come to life! Ice cream and book lovers of all ages participated!
STEP 2: VOTE
The voters have spoken! The winning flavor is: It's Going to Be Amazing
Sweet cream + shortbread cookies + chocolate marshmallow fluff inspired by The Rabbit Listened
STEP 3: TASTE IT!
Join us for our Scoops & Stories event on Tuesday, September 30 from 4:30 - 7:30 PM at the Wild Scoops Midtown Scoop Shop! Ice cream will be available for purchase, submitted designs will be on display, and librarians from APL will be on hand to offer book recommendations based on your preferred flavor!
Plus! Get a FREE limited edition sticker when you submit a completed worksheet at the library-- or show your library card to Wild Scoops when you visit in September!
