In addition to its fall programming, the Library is raising funds to bring a Charlie Cart to Rooks County. A Charlie Cart is a mobile kitchen with a built-in curriculum designed to teach up to 30 participants at a time. Once purchased, the cart will be shared among all three Rooks County libraries to host handson cooking classes. The Stockton Public Library is currently $5,000 away from its fundraising goal.
Community members who would like to contribute may stop by the Library and speak with Sierra or Chris.
