Food is more than just a basic human need-learning about it and
enjoying it can be important social activities. With ties to
information needs, social justice, and the maker movement, food
literacy initiatives are a natural fit for libraries. And, as this
book demonstrates, efforts can extend far beyond a hearty
collection of cookbooks in the stacks. Food programming such as
cooking can be an important tool in helping English language
learners discover a practical use for a new language, as well as
providing opportunities for socialization and conversation. It can
be used to help GED seekers practice basic math. And, playing with
food can be a sensory-integrative way to help new parents and their
babies learn about healthy food choices. Featuring a multi-pronged
approach to incorporating food literacy in public, school, and
special libraries, this all-in-one resource presents a definition
of food literacy that shows how the concept touches upon important
topics such as culinary skills, food security, nutrition and
dieting, food allergies, health literacy, and food ethics;
discusses the community impacts of food-related issues; walks
readers through planning and undertaking a community food
assessment, a process that can be used to identify a need, justify
a service response, build buy-in and engagement, and plan for the
allocation of resources; shares a variety of innovative food
literacy programs drawn from libraries across the country, from
cookbook and recipe clubs to an edible education garden, teen
cooking classes, and offsite cooking demos; and provides
information about additional resources and reference sources
relating to the culinary world, including advice on collection
development. Serving up a wholesome combination of food literacy
information and ideas, this book will encourage members of your
community to gather 'round the table at the library.
