The Worcester County Health Department in collaboration with the University of Maryland Extension, will offer a series of the "Cooking Up Health" program at the Worcester County Tourism Building starting on Monday, September 14. The multi-session ( 6 week)  class will be offered from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and participants will learn about basic nutrition, growing food, preparing food, and food preservation. The program also includes hands on activities and a session dedicated to financial wellness. There is no cost for program participants.

As of June 1, Hoopla will no longer be available for Worcester County Library patrons, but we want to make sure you still have access to plenty of amazing digital content — and we’re excited to introduce new resources launching June 1!

We invite you to try out:

Worcester County Library is excited to announce new Seed Libraries available at the Berlin, Pocomoke, and Snow Hill branches. This service is part of the Cooking up Health: A Nourishing Neighbors Program, a robust diabetes prevention program developed by the Worcester County Health Department. A huge thank you to CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield for funding the Cooking up Health Project for our community.

The Seed Library is a fun – and free – way to try planting your very own garden.
