The Library System is proud to partner once again with the School District of Palm Beach County to provide free summer lunches to all children ages 18 and younger.
The free summer lunch program starts Monday, June 3 through Friday, July 26 at all Palm Beach County Library System locations. Lunch is served Monday-Friday, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm and snacks are available from 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm.
No lunch or snack service is provided on Wednesday, June 19 and Thursday, July 4 as all locations are closed for Juneteenth and Independence Day respectively.
