Join Marion County Public Health Department’s Nutrition Services in an interactive class to decode packaging and labeling questions. Enjoy a healthy recipe tasting with us as well!
Have you ever picked up a food item in the store and wondered “what does this label really mean?” Are foods safe past their sell-by date? What is the deal with the “non-GMO” and “organic” labels? How do I make sense of the nutrition facts and ingredient lists?
In 1960, after residents petitioned for a permanent library, a storefront branch opened at 30th Street and Lafayette Road, the first branch in the system to be located in a shopping center. A stand-alone facility at 3325 Lowry Road opened in 1970 with 12,000 square feet. On June 1, 2019 the Lowry Road facility was replaced by a new 20,000-square-foot building at 3905 Moller Road.
