Seed Library
This special type of library allows people to share seeds! Have fun, learn a new hobby, help green your community, and share your love of gardening with others.
Get started by "borrowing" seed packets and get planting! At the end of the season, you can "return" what you've grown to help ensure our Seed Library blooms next year! We are currently accepting seed donations at all CLMA library locations!
The new season of the Seed Library is available as of Tuesday, March 26!
