We have a new addition to our Go & Grow collection in the Children’s Room (the cute name we have for our Library of Things). A Seed Library! You may get patron questions about it, so I wanted to let you know how it works.
The library has 2 small binders with info about all the seeds. We have seeds for vegetables, flowers and herbs. People can read through the binders to learn about plants and decide what they want. Then they can select up to 2 packets of seeds from the library to take home and plant. People can also donate seeds. They can do this at the Children’s Room desk.
Please note: even though it lives in Children’s it’s not just for kids! Adults can also come up and use the collection.
More info is online in the Library of Things section of the website: https://readingpl.org/dt_portfolios/seed-library/
There will be two Seed Swap Share events this week to help kick off the new Seed Library. Tuesday April 4 at 3:30 and Saturday April 8 at 2:30. (links go to LibCal events)
Thank you and way to go Megan White for setting this up! (with support from our wonderful Friends group).
