<h1>Gather ‘Round the Table with Teens: A Food Literacy Workshop<o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">Food literacy is essential for teens to understand and learn about food in a positive way, including food skills and best food practices.
<b>Young adult library staff</b> will benefit from this workshop designed to guide libraries to in turn support teens as they explore the impact of food on so many levels of their lives.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Food Education Consultant Rebecca Antill will provide in-person workshops on how to plan and deliver nutrition & cooking programs for teens, featuring how to do so with minimal kitchen access. As a former librarian, Rebecca will offer a
tailored learning experience that will equip library staff to offer food programming of all levels at their libraries. Basic health and safety information, kitchen classroom management, culinary skills and community partners will all be discussed as participants
cook and share time together. <b>Bring your own apron</b> as this cooking workshop is hands-on and very interactive!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Workshops will be offered in three locations across the state and
