Highlights included…
- Top 9 allergen-free school lunch demonstration
- Ask-the-Expert panel

Sending a little library love today. Whenever I travel, I make a point of finding the nearest library. They're a wonderful way to experience local architecture, explore a community, and enjoy a welcoming public space open to everyone.
Libraries may be the greatest treasure chests ever created. The best part? They let you take the treasure home.
📚 Thanks, @KCLibrary
