The Rondo Library serves free, nutritional meals and snacks Mondays thru Friday to youth (18 years old & under), through the federally funded Saint Paul Public Schools Summer Meals. Children who suffer from poor nutrition score much lower on tests of vocabulary, reading comprehension, math, and general knowledge. Over 300,000 students in Minnesota depend on the Free and Reduced Lunch program during the school year. The schools also have local libraries and community centers serve lunch and snack over the summer. We serve 15-30 youth each day.

Summer Meals starts on June 11 and goes through August 23. (Specific open weekly shifts/dates are listed below)

  • Prep: Prepare bag lunches/snacks according to nutrition guidelines, record number of food items prepared, wipe tables, post mealtime rules signs.
  • Serve meals/snacks to youth, having them write their name to keep track.
  • Explain rules to attendees (18 & under, food may not leave the room).
  • Clean up includes: Final tally of attendance, record wasted food items, return extra food items to fridge, wipe tables, dump leftover milk.
  • Follow all food safety guidelines according to SPPS Nutrition Services.

Description

Our Values

The Library belongs to the people of Saint Paul. We are your Library and you - our library users - shape our work. The following values guide our work.

We believe that learning is a human right.

To live, adapt, and thrive in a constantly changing world, all people need supportive learning environments and free access to information and ideas from diverse points of view.

We believe in curiosity.

Curiosity can change the world and the path of one’s life. We believe in igniting its spark through discovery and creative exploration.

We believe in connection.

The Library is a place for quiet reflection and boisterous activity; for likeness and for difference. It is comfortable, inclusive, and vital to creating healthy, strong communities.

We believe in the power of belonging.

When people feel they belong, they are able to learn and grow. The Library brings people together to access knowledge, information, and connection. We actively work to ensure that all people see themselves and our city’s rich diversity reflected in our libraries.
