Seed Library
What is the Fond du Lac Public Library Seed Library?
The Seed Library is a resource for the Fond du Lac community to connect library users with seeds that can provide free, fresh produce, herbs, and flowers. It is supported by local donations and a small seed budget. Please take what you are planning to plant. We look forward to hearing how it grows!
How do I use the Seed Library?
- Choose up to 7 FREE seed packets according to the container or space & sunlight you have to grow them
- Take your selection to the Checkout Desk. Use your FDLPL card to “check out” your seeds
- Take them home and enjoy! Read the seed label for growing instructions
- Start your seeds indoors or plant directly in soil according to your packet instructions.
- When they grow, share photos with us on our social media channels: Facebook @FDLPL and Instagram @fondylibrary
Why is the library introducing this Seed Library?
The library believes in connecting the community with resources that can enrich their lives, including books and equipment that are educational, entertaining, or vital to an improved quality of life. The new Seed Library, being introduced in conjunction with Summer Reading 2024's theme of "Read, Renew Repeat," will enable Fond du Lac residents to gain the joy and healthy produce a garden provides with fewer barriers to starting it.
I love this idea! How can I support the FDLPL's new Seed Library?
The Fond du Lac Public Library is not yet accepting donated seeds for the seed library. If you wish to support the concept monitarily, the library accepts credit cards and PayPal online. We greatly appreciate any monetary gifts you may consider!
