Betsy Wolfe, Woodlawn Hospital and Duke’s Memorial Hospital Dietician, will be presenting a program for National Nutrition Month at Kewanna Public Library on Wednesday, March 14 @ 11:00.

National Nutrition Month focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.

“Go Further with Food” is the theme for 2018, and its importance is timely for many reasons. Whether it’s starting the day off right with a healthy breakfast or fueling before an athletic event, the foods you choose can make a real difference. Preparing your foods to go further, by planning meals and snacks in advance can also help to reduce food loss and waste. Learning how to manage food resources at home will help you “Go Further with Food”, while saving both nutrients and money.

Teen Tech Week promotes digital resources within libraries across the country that are available for teens and their families.  The purpose of Teen Tech Week is to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of digital media, especially the nonprint resources offered through libraries, such as e-books, databases, audiobooks, and social media.

Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use libraries’ nonprint resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology.
