In January 2023, Chatham County Public Libraries, in partnership with the N.C. Cooperative Extension, Chatham County Center and the Chatham County Public Health Department, was awarded a Food Literacy Center grant from the State Library of North Carolina. The funds have been used to purchase a mobile kitchen unit that is housed, mainly, at Wren Memorial Library and is used to provide food demonstrations and hands-on learning.
