Food desert solution: Shop for groceries at the library

This article from the Baltimore Sun highlights a new program in Baltimore that allows residents to order groceries online at their local library for free pickup at that same library. So far, the program is only for two neighborhoods that lack grocery stores. The first six months of the program are being paid for with $60k in federal stimulus money. This is definitely an interesting solution to the very extensive problem of food deserts in our cities and rural areas.
