Madisonians interested in getting their fill of literature and food are invited to the 2013 Edible Book Festival April 16.

The event, free to the public, pits food created with a book theme against each other for prizes. Those interested in creating their own edible literary entry can sign up until April 15.

The event is one of many celebrating National Library Week.

The event will take place at Memorial Library Commons at 4 – 6 p.m. For more information, including an application to enter the competition, people can visit memorial.library.wisc.edu/edible-book.  

The Dane County Sheriff’s Office will offer an internet safety presentation on protecting children to interested parents March 20.

According to a statement, the free event will focus on issues surrounding Facebook, cyber bulling and online predators.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children shows one in three teens have experienced online harassment, one of several statistics the statement highlighted.

The presentation will take place at the Westport Meeting Room at 5387 Mary Lake Rd. at 6 p.m.

Nurse: 'It all just sort of happened at once … it was pretty wild'  

When Amanda Van Gorden finished her shift at St. Mary's Hospital on the night of Feb. 16, she envisioned a pretty uneventful evening. But a text from her sister Ashley an hour later would change everything.

"She texted [me] to say her water had broken and wondered if I could take her to the hospital," Van Gorden said.

Ashley's husband had left just a few moments earlier to drop her son off at her parent's house. It was after he left that the contractions started every two to three minutes.
