Celebrate Earth Day this April as we reopen our Seed Library and offer inspiring programs that help our community grow greener together.

Starting April 1, pick up free seed packets at any Library location—no Library card needed!

How It Works

Limit: three seed packets per person

Please fill out the form at the Seed Library display to let us know which seeds you took. This helps us track inventory—no checkout required.

Seeds are first-come, first-served – while supplies last. We cannot hold any seed packets.
