Library Chef introduces a new family engagement program tied to America’s 250th Anniversary called the Junior Chef Kitchen Passport.
This is a fully done-for-you program for ages 5+ where kids pick up a collector’s edition passport at the library, complete fun challenges at home, then return for sticker stamps, prizes, and certificates.
Each kit ships with everything included:
- Customized passports with your library’s name
- Sticker stamps
- Prizes
- Certificates
- Staff guide
- Marketing materials
Libraries have already started ordering for summer.
Order by June 8th and kits arrive by June 20th. The program runs until September 7th, so there is still time even if summer programming is already planned. You can view the full overview here:
