Seed Libraries Discussion
We had a wonderful DLIS Discussion (50:39) on June 17 about libraries and gardens. Participants were interested in talking more about seed libraries and asked us to schedule a follow-up session.
On September 19, 2024, join our Adult Learning and Youth Services Coordinators to talk about seed libraries. Let's discuss your seed library or your plans to start one.
We will share resources and information about sourcing seeds and creating partnerships. What advice would you give to a library just starting a seed lending program?
