A GRANDE — Those
sugar-coated marshmallow
confections known as Peeps
are fi lling store shelves, and
that means the Peeps Diorama

“I’m very excited for this little
program — I think it’ll be a lot of
fun,” said Mackenzie Issak, who
works in children’s services at
the library.
The diorama display can have
any theme — books, movies, TV
shows, musicals, science fi ction,
etc. — as long as it is family
friendly.
Here are the other require-
ments, per the library’s entry form:
• The entire display should fi t
inside a shoe box, with a maxi-
mum size of 12 inches by 18
inches by 12 inches.
• All visible parts, including the
outside of the box, should be
decorated.
• All characters in the scene
should be made with Peeps.
• Limit one entry per person or
team.
