Our programs are free and open to the public to encourage reading for fun and educate in fun and innovative ways.

Prescott/Nevada County Library Summer Feeding Program
Just as learning does not end when school lets out, neither does a child’s need for good nutrition.
Summer meal sites are frequently held at libraries, camps, churches, or schools. While kids receive a meal at the library, they can also stay active and continue learning with the summer reading program and books. The Arkansas NO KID HUNGRY program gives them the opportunity to eat a nutritious meal and stay on track during the summer so that they don’t fall behind when they return to school.

The Arkansas No Kid Hungry Program works through the combined efforts of the public and private sphere.
