Meal Services

Cleveland Public Library invites youth to have summer lunch on us, Monday-Friday, from 11:30am-12:30pm.

In partnership with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, free nutritious meals are available on a first-come-first-served basis to youth ages 18 and under through August 8, 2024.

Eating healthy, balanced meals support the growth, wellness and overall development of youth.

During the school year, free after-school meals, Kids Cafe, will begin October 1, 2024, from 3:30-4:30pm at any of Cleveland Public Library’s twenty-seven open locations. In 2023, the Food Bank served over 60,000 meals to Cleveland Public Library’s youth patrons.
