Free Lunch at the Library
Well Fed, Well Read
This summer, kids and teens 18 and under can enjoy free lunch at the library.
Meals are available on a first come, first served basis at select libraries from June 12 – August 4 from 12 – 1 pm, either Mon – Fri or Tue – Fri, depending on the location (see schedule).
Meals must be eaten at the Library.
There are no restrictions on family income.
Since 2015, LA County Library has been offering free, nutritious lunches. Lunch at the Library keeps children nourished during the summer months, helping to ensure that they return to school in the fall ready to learn.
Special Thanks
Lunch at the Library is a partnership with LA County Department of Parks & Recreation.
This project was supported in whole or in part by funding provided by the State of California, administered by the California State Library.
