Come prepared to bend, squat, lift, and move your body. Closed-toe shoes are required, and clothes you are willing to get dirty are recommended. Training and tools will be provided. Families, children, and teens are welcome. Best for ages 10 and up.

Lunch at the Library is a project of the California State Library, supported with funds from the State of California.
