Serving the Public at Our Libraries

Summer 2015 has come to an end and it's time for us to ask you for help.

If your library participated in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), please let us know!

We'd like to hear from librarians and patrons about your experiences. We'll be collecting responses over the next few months.

Please send a message to this email address: INLLA2015KL@yahoo.com.
Answer the following questions. Anyone is welcome to participate.

1) What city and state do you live in?
2) Where was your SFSP site located? A library? A school? If other, then where?
3) What did you think of the program? What were 2 positive things and 2 negative things?

Our efforts to help libraries become more involved in the USDA's Summer Food Service Program will continue into 2016. We will also be creating a public directory online called FOOD, or Food Options Open Doors, to help libraries provide patrons with resources for finding locations outside the library where they may find free or low cost meals.

At our libraries, the West Branch of Vigo County in West Terre Haute, IN, and the State Library here in downtown Indianapolis, IN, we serve the public in many ways each day. We're part of a local effort at our libraries to help our communities, and we're proud of that.

The West Terre Haute Library received good news this spring. New renovations will be made to the West Terre Haute Community Center and the building will become the new West Branch library. You can read more from WISH news here.

Have fun with your Back-To-School events, and have a great school year!
