Free Summer Lunch at the Library - Several Locations

A child's appetite doesn't end when the final school bell rings for summer. But for kids who rely on free school lunches, summertime brings uncertainty to struggling families.

Several Contra Costa County libraries will offer free lunches this summer to help bridge the gap.

“This program gives us a chance to get to know more members of our community and provide an additional service,” said Ian Richards, senior community library manager for the El Sobrante and Pinole libraries. “Libraries offer so much more than just traditional book-learning.”

In addition to lunch, the libraries will offer a variety of free programs including board games, arts and crafts, musical performances, Legos, movies, and more.
