Adults

I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; 

even so, they have made me.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Seed Library

Seed Library pictureThe Library Squad loves growing things almost as much as we love books.  Join us in creating and maintaining a seed library for community use.  A starter pack of seeds donated by Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, Ferry-Morse Seed Company, and Park Seed Company will be on hand. To keep the seed library growing, save seeds at the end of each growing season and donate them to the library.

To donate seeds, please complete as much information about the seed on this form and return it, along with seeds, to the library. Due to space considerations, please bring 5 packets of seeds per donation.
