Wawasee School System and the Department of Agriculture are teaming up to provide free lunches for students aged 18 and younger. Lunches are distributed at the library from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Monday through Friday. Anyone in that age range is eligible for the free lunch, and students no longer need to be present to receive lunch. Parents – pick up lunch for your students to eat at home, or let them eat at the library.
The week of July 25 scheduled lunches include a calzone, au gratin potatoes, veggies and ranch dip, blueberries or applesauce and milk. Plan on coming out to get your children their free lunches. This is a great way to stretch your grocery budget. The last day for lunches is July 28. This is a change from earlier information. There will be no free lunch served on Friday, July 29.due to a meeting at Wawasee.
New Diabetes Handbook & Resource Guide at Milford Public Library
Do you or a loved one suffer from diabetes? Are you looking for information or resources to help you or your loved one live a better life with diabetes? Milford Public Library recently purchased a new health and wellness guide for diabetes that includes not only information about the disease, but also ways to manage the risk factors and symptoms.
This brand new, extensive health guide is available in hardback at MPL and includes massive amounts of information. Each section in the book contains topical information as well as lists of other print and digital resources that go along with each section’s theme. Besides these resources, the guide also includes lists of research foundations, support groups and hotlines, as well as other non-profit help agencies. It is difficult to imagine a more thorough or helpful guide for people with diabetes!
If paper books aren’t your thing, this same information will also be available digitally through the library’s website.
