The Seed Library At Roaring Spring Community Library

A seed library is a place where community members can get seeds for free. The Seed Library at Roaring Spring Community Library through the generosity of donations from many seed companies provides access to seeds, knowledge, and learning opportunities. The Seed Library is free and open to all, with or without a library card.
