Welcome to the SPLD Seed Library!
Information and Guidelines:
If you are borrowing from the seed library for the first time, please fill out a Membership Record at the circulation desk before taking any seeds.
- Please only take 10 seed packets per household.
- Return your saved seeds to the library in a sealed paper envelope with your name and the plant name, variety, and year of harvest written on it. Also record this information in your Member’s Seed Record. If you are a beginning seed-saver, please only return seeds from the “Easy” category.
For the continued success of the seed library, please try to return more seed than you borrowed, and only return seed that you are fairly confident was not cross-pollinated. This will keep our drawers well-stocked and our community of gardeners happy with their results.
Our mission for the seed library here at the Sandwich Public Library is to bring the community together to cultivate growth, knowledge, and connection. Open to everyone—no library card needed.
Our seed library is volunteer-run and overseen by Tanzi Cairy, in coordination with the Adult Services Coordinator.
