Seed Library Growing Strong at the Churchill County Library

The Seed Library is a relatively new program at the Churchill County Library. It is a place to check out seeds to grow and participate in the tradition of seed saving by growing, saving, and donating any extra seeds back to the seed library.

Over time, the saved seeds will add up to a robust, local plant powerhouse to be used to grow food and community together.

The seed library allows patrons to borrow seeds, grow the plants, and return the new seeds to continue the program in three easy steps:

  • Pick up to five seed packets and an information packet. Let staff know if any drawers are empty.
  • Plant the seeds following the instructions in the information packet. Grow and enjoy.
  • When harvesting the grown plants, empty 10-15 seed pods, heads, or fruits and allow them to dry. Put the dried seeds in a labeled envelope or baggie and drop it off with library staff along with any information about your seeds.

This free program is available to all who wish to participate. There is no penalty for not returning seeds or if seeds fail to grow.

Seeds currently in the library include arugula, beans, okra, squash, and sunflowers. 

A detailed informational packet on best practices for growing seeds is available at the seed library. You can pick it up along with your seeds.

The library is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The seed library is just inside the library entrance.
