Our seed library offers a wide variety of free seeds to our community. We provide a variety of vegetable, herb, and flower seeds. Families are allowed up to four packets per year. Seeds have been donated by patrons and seed companies. Seeds can be donated by completing a donation form and submitting them with the seeds to the circulation desk.
