What's Cookin' at Canoga Park?

Summer programming at your local library can mean lots different things to lots of different people. This past summer at the Canoga Park Branch Library, the teens not only served lunch to community youth (as part of the Summer Lunch program), but really thought about what’s involved when preparing food. The branch received a $2,000 California Library Association grant in conjunction with the Summer Lunch program. The teens had lots of ideas about how to use the grant. They wanted to focus on nutrition, connect it to cultures, and give the community information they could use for self-improvement. The teens decided to put their STEAM skills to use, and with the grant money, create a series of podcasts about nutrition.
