The Library’s Culinary Literacy Center (CLC), opened in 2014, is the first program of its kind in any library in the United States and serves as a model for libraries worldwide. CLC’s mission is to advance literacy through food and cooking around a communal table, in collaboration with partners across Philadelphia.
