Cross-posted. Please excuse duplication.

Dr. Nicole Peritore of the Public Health Education program at Augusta (GA) University and Dr. Noah Lenstra of the School of Education at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro have collaborated to create a Public Library Food Service Census<https://augusta.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bE4G8FouiDUXWsK>, modeled on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm to School Census<https://farmtoschoolcensus.fns.usda.gov/>.

During the month of April 2022, they are asking public library workers across North America to share:

  *   How your library currently supports food literacy and food access
  *   How your library has supported food literacy and food access in the past
  *   What resources you may need to better support food literacy and food access at your library

Results of this Census will be shared online publicly. Email Noah Lenstra<mailto:njlenstr at uncg.edu> to request that results be shared with you.

The researchers hope to use this data to drive forward the conversation on food and librarianship, and to create stronger partnerships with allied sectors in schools, agriculture, and health.

The survey is now available online<https://augusta.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bE4G8FouiDUXWsK>, and will be open throughout the month of April.

Please take some time to add your library to the Public Library Food Service Census<https://augusta.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bE4G8FouiDUXWsK>. Thank you.
