Summer Food Service Program and Public Libraries

Originally presented March 6, 2020 with Amy Kolano, Department of Public Instruction; Dawn Foster, Portage Public Library, Elizabeth Matson, Hedberg Public Library, Janesville presenting.

The Summer Food Service Program provides free meals to low-income children during school vacations. More than 26 million children eat school lunch every day when school is in session, and about half of them receive their meals free or at a reduced price due to low household income. But what happens during the summer months? The Summer Food Service Program offers those children nutritious food when school is not in session. During Summer 2018, Wisconsin served 2.9 million meals at 965 sites operated by 240 sponsoring organizations, including public libraries.

This webinar will provide information about Wisconsin’s program and will share ideas about ways that public libraries in the state have partnered with local agencies to become host sites for the summer program. Join us and as we hear from Summer Food Service coordinator, Amy Kolano, and public library staff about ways that libraries have successfully hosted the Summer Food Program in their communities.

Substance Abuse & Mental Health Symposium

Held on September 24, 2019 at the Wintergreen Resort in Wisconsin Dells

Addiction, Substance Abuse Disorder, Trauma, and the Human Brain: Information for Public Library Staff

 

In a recent South Central Library System survey, participants reported regular interactions with community members who struggle with addiction and substance abuse disorders. We are not alone: library staff across the country find ourselves in the heart of a substance abuse epidemic that is attacking entire communities and civic life.  In this morning’s session, our speakers will address trauma, addiction and substance abuse from a people-first, anti-stigma, perspective. With an understanding of our roles as public library staff, our speakers will identify appropriate methods for recognizing and responding to potential overdoses in the library, will provide an overview of the neurobiology of addiction, and will discuss ways that library staff members can practice healthy mental and emotional habits.

 

Presenters: Sarah Johnson, Public Health Madison & Dane County; Skye Tikkanen, Safe Communities; Sheila Weix, Family Health Center of Marshfield
