Summary:
"
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."--From publisher.
