Day-Riverside Branch -
Food, Fun, & Reading is an outdoor program that gets children excited about trying nutritious foods through reading and fun activities.
Mealtime with young children can sometimes be challenging for parents, especially when children are reluctant try new foods. This program introduces new foods and allows kids to try them, while also encouraging parents.
Food, Fun, & Reading gets children excited about trying nutritious foods through reading and fun activities. The lessons provide an overview of USDA’s MyPlate. The six lessons will each focus on a different USDA MyPlate food group, and come with handouts for more information including MyPlate tips for parents, a kid’s activity sheet, and kid-friendly recipes to try at home.
This series is presented the Utah State University Extension.

About the branch
This beautiful facility was designed to complement the Rose Park neighborhood with sensitivity to its site on the Jordan River Parkway. An open space plan, with a large community meeting room and outside deck area, will accommodate this growing community for many years.
The south property of the Day-Riverside Branch is home to TreeUtah's EcoGarden, a "food forest" where all members of the community can learn about urban farming and organic gardening. The Day-Riverside Branch has a meeting room available for public use that features tables, chairs, a projector screen, and a piano.
Free parking is available to the west of the building, and free wi-fi access is provided throughout the library.
