THE SEED LIBRARY

Welcome to the Red Hook Public Library’s Seed Library! Our goal is to provide healthy, viable seeds for the community to plant, grow, and harvest.

How It Works

Patrons with Library cards in good standing will first go to the main circulation desk to fill out a Seed Library membership form. Patrons may “check-out” 10 seed packets per season. Unlike other Library items, seeds do not need to be returned. We do encourage you to collect seeds from your harvest and donate them back to the seed library at the end of the growing season. See our events calendar for information on upcoming seed and gardening workshops and events.

Donation Guidelines

We welcome both grower harvested and viable, commercial seed donations. Seeds should be sealed in an envelope or plastic bag, one seed variety per package. A separate donation form (available at the circulation desk) should be filled out for each variety.
