Kern County libraries roll out Charley Cart mobile teaching kitchen for kids
Summary
Kern County Library and partners launched the Charley Cart mobile teaching kitchen to teach children hands-on nutrition and cooking; sessions are free and scheduled Wednesdays at 4 p.m. at Field Memorial Library through Feb. 25.
Kern County libraries have added a mobile teaching kitchen called the Charley Cart to bring hands-on food and nutrition lessons to children across the county.
A program representative said, "The Charley Cart is more than just a piece of equipment. It's a gateway to exploring culinary arts, creativity, and positive health choices." The segment described the Charley Cart Project as a collaboration between Blue Zones Project Bakersfield, the Kern County Library and the Kern County Superintendent of Schools.
The show said using the program at the library removes common barriers to health education because it is accessible, welcoming and free. The episode listed sessions taking place every Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Field Memorial Library through Feb. 25.
The segment did not provide a detailed curriculum, staffing roster or long-term budget for the program; those items were not specified.
