In this free one-hour webinar, Hillary Dodge shares information about creating or adapting food literacy programs during the pandemic.

Webinar: Food Literacy During the Pandemic

Originally presented September 16, 2020

While researching her book with ALA Editions, Gather ‘Round the Table: Food Literacy Programs, Resources, and Ideas for Libraries (2020), Hillary Dodge reached out to libraries around the country that had embedded food literacy in their programs and services. 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 explores several ways libraries have changed their service and program design to provide food literacy programs and services during the pandemic.
