Abstract
ABSTRACT This study assessed the feasibility of partnerships between public libraries and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) for delivery of direct nutrition education and adoption of nutrition and physical activity supports. Reported here are findings from interviews conducted with 14 librarians between December 2015 and February 2016. Librarians spoke of initiatives they were doing around healthy eating and active living and how they would like to do more. They also articulated overlap between their patrons and the program’s target audience. Several opportunities for and challenges to building partnerships between public libraries and the SNAP-Ed program surfaced.
期刊介绍：
Public Libraries Quarterly is addressed to leaders-directors, managers, staff, trustees, and friends-who believe that change is imperative if public libraries are to fulfill their service missions in the twenty-first century. In PLQ, directors and operating officers tell how they accomplished change. The journal examines: •best practices and models to improve service •management case studies-with results and failures •library mythologies that retard individual and institutional development •studies of how to plan results and accomplish desired outcomes •marketing and fund-raising tools that work •budget and financial analysis tools and tips
