The Kern County Library adds TWO more meal service locations to serve the Bakersfield area with 'Supper & Snacks in the Stacks' program!
The Kern County Library along with the Kern County Superintendent of Schools currently offer meal service at Arvin, Baker, Beale, Delano, McFarland, Northeast, Rathbun, Wasco, and Wilson library branches and are welcoming two additional locations to the Supper & Snacks in the Stacks program! Meal service will begin the week of December 5th at the following branches in the south Kern area: Frazier Park & Taft.
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 provided 13,000+ meals to children all over Kern County through Lunch at the Library partnerships. During the fall, winter, and spring months, the Snacks in the Stacks program has successfully continued to provide meal service at select library branches beyond summer, and are excited to announce an expansion from nine to eleven locations around Kern County!

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!
