Summer Library Program

In order to help keep the healthy eating and physical activity message alive for children during the summer months when they are not in school, the Maine Nutrition Network created the Summer Library Nutrition Program. Libraries across the state in towns where there are participating Maine-ly Nutrition Schools are invited to apply each summer. Summer Library Nutrition Program details:

Applications must be received by May 5, 2006

Libraries can apply to receive a $400.00 grant

Programs must run for 3-4 weeks with at least one session per week

The program can cover nutrition in a variety of ways: food, countries/cultures, reading, or other activities

Applications for the program are sent to eligible libraries in February or March of each year. During the summer of 2005, fourteen libraries participated in the program!
