The Erie City Public Library is part of a growing movement of seed libraries and has shelves stocked full of seed as well as books to help gardeners with tips. “A seed library is a place where community members can get seeds for free and is run for the public benefit,” said Julie Coover Kent, library director. “Helping people to start gardens for their families is the goal of our library.” The idea is for people to take a packet of seed and leave a packet of seed or bring one in later to help perpetuate the seed library into the future. You may have a packet of bush bean seeds and want a packet of green pepper seeds so you can switch them out.
