She discovered a number of fantastic food literacy programs and services, scaled to libraries both large and small. But that was before the pandemic. Now the ways that libraries serve their communities and meet their food literacy goals has drastically changed. This webinar will explore several ways that libraries have changed their service and program design to provide food literacy programs and services during the pandemic.
