Let’s Cook: Teaching Cooking Skills in the Library

Wednesday September 9, 2026 1:45pm - 2:45pm MDT

Archivist Prime Breakout Room 8

Cooking classes are a great way to address food insecurity while building life skills and community engagement, but they’re often financially inaccessible. This presentation will examine the program series Let’s Cook!, which provides free cooking classes to the community. Through programmer experience, program statistics, and post-program survey data, we will discuss planning, successes, lessons learned, and implementation strategies. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask the presenter questions and brainstorm how to apply this information to their own communities and will leave with knowledge and skills to replicate this program in their libraries.
