Supper and Snacks in the Stacks Program is Ongoing at Selected Kern County Library Locations!
Kern County Library in partnership with Kern County Superintendent of Schools and Taft City School District continues its ongoing commitment to supporting local youth through the Supper and Snacks in the Stacks program.
Anyone, regardless of income, between the ages of 2-18 can stop by at 3-6pm for a FREE healthy meal, access to enrichment opportunities, and a hangout space to complete homework.
The Kern County Library knows that making FREE meals available to children is key to their health and academic success.
Over the summer, the library distributed more than 16,000 meals to children and teens, helping address food insecurity while also providing engaging enrichment activities that encourage learning and creativity.
Programs like Supper and Snacks in the Stacks demonstrate how libraries are more than just places for books—they are vital community hubs. By offering nutritious meals alongside learning opportunities, Kern County Library supports the health, well-being, and success of youth throughout the county.
Families are encouraged to take advantage of this ongoing program at participating library locations and experience the library as a welcoming space for learning, growth, and community connection.

Libraries are natural spaces for serving meals to children and providing them with the resources they need to support their education. Snacks in the Stacks is more than just a place for children and teens to eat and do homework after school – it’s a place to learn, laugh, and grow!
