Spotlight on Osawatomie Public Library
The Osawatomie Public Library utilized literacy grant funding from NEKLS to launch a cooking literacy program for all ages. This unique initiative serves patrons across generations, fostering functional food and nutrition literacy in the community. The grant funding enabled the library to purchase a range, vent hood, basic kitchen supplies, and covered the cost of the necessary wiring.
Library Director Sam Moon shared, “We’ve loved our kitchen labs and the benefit of having the electric range in our youth department.
