survey to ascertain current knowledge of our kits and future emerging technology needs and trends. The Committee would like anyone interested in emerging technologies, anyone working with emerging technologies, anyone programming with emerging technologies,
anyone paying for emerging technologies – in other words, almost everyone - to take a few minutes to answer our survey:

and other non-profits/municipal entities provide meals for kids during the pandemic. The government has made it much easier to provide food via the USDA’s Child and Adult Care Food Program(CACFP) which is very similar to what libraries do in the Summer Food
Service Program(SFSP). Eligibility has been increased so that over 99% of Ohio is now eligible for this program. Listen to the podcast to see how your library or community partner can work with Children’s Hunger Alliance(CHA) to provide free meals to kids
in your area. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
