Seeds Libraries Movement

There are now about over 800 seed lending libraries open! They have opened in 48 states and 15 countries!  If you have opened a seed library or are in process, please take a moment to fill in our 2-3 minute survey. We'll add you to our sister seed librarians list and you'll get a few updates a year when new material comes out from our Cool Beans! newsletter.  Taking a few minutes to give us your town, city and contact information will really save us! We're tracking all of this and it takes many, many hours to document. A couple of minutes from you would help us tremendously. Thanks!

Please "Like" Seed Libraries on Facebook.  You may also want to join us on UpBeet!, the seed librarians' online forum.  There is also a University Seed Libraries Association on Facebook, which is not very active. There are downloadable plans and instructions for a portable Share Seeds station from Eating in Public, a group based in Hawaii.

Below are some pictures of some of the sister libraries. The list of sister libraries is now hosted at SeedLibraries.net, which also includes a more extensive list of resources on how to launch and maintain a library.
