"Borrow" seeds to start your gardens! Located on the third floor, the Seed Library is now available to "check out". The steps are simple: choose what seed varieties you want, fill out the sign-out sheet with your selections, and enjoy!
This project is based on the honor system, so a staff member is not needed to "check out" seeds. When using the Seed Library, take what you need but remember to leave enough for others.
We're also collecting harvested seeds at the end of the summer, so please note that you would like to participate in that when you're filling out the sign-out sheet.
Happy gardening and be sure to use #goffstownlibrary to share your Seed Library bounty!
