SPL will be starting a seed library. Library patrons will be able to “check out” a specified amount of seeds for the season, then “check in” the same amount or more (by weight or count of the same variety of seeds saved from their gardens). Patrons may also donate their excess seeds of any variety to the seed library.
Sapulpa Public Library staff and Director firmly believe this program will significantly serve the community by providing seeds at no cost, thus increasing food security while fostering self-reliance and expanding access to healthy foods.
