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.

Annual Report

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) participates annually in a national public library data collection system. The purpose of this system is to ensure the collection of comparable data in all states. The data is used for the creation of a composite report on the public libraries of the United States and for state-to-state comparisons by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). It is seen and used by researchers as well as policymakers at all levels of government. This report is also used to accredit Texas public libraries and some data elements are used for that purpose.
