Seed Library at the Main Library

Get free seeds to grow your own garden!
The Seed Library is open during regular hours at the Main Library, and it’s for everyone—kids and adults!

How It Works

• Free seeds! You don’t have to pay.
• You can take up to 5 seed packets each month per household.
• You don’t have to return seeds, but you can if you want to!
• We may accept seed donations—clean, heirloom, or open-pollinated seeds are best.

When It’s Open

The Seed Library is usually open during the growing season each year.
