Imagine if your library didn't just check out books — but also packets of seeds. Join this free webinar to learn how to start a seed library! At a seed library, patrons can check out seeds for free. They then grow the fruits and vegetables, harvest the new seeds, and "return" those seeds so the library can lend them out to others. On Wednesday, March 27, the Center for a New American Dream presents a free webinar about how to start a seed lending program at your public library. Guest speakers: Kelly Becker — Seed Library Coordinator, La Crosse Public Library (La Crosse, WI). Justine Hernandez — Seed Librarian, Pima County Public Library (Tucson, AZ). Stephanie Syson — Institute Manager, Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute, Basalt Seed Library Project (Basalt, CO). Becker, Hernandez, and Syson will share their knowledge about how they got their seed libraries off the ground and will be available to answer your questions. Register for this webinar to learn how to start a similar project at your local library! Webinar: How to Start a Seed Library at Your Public Library Date: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 Time: 2:00pm-3:00pm Eastern (11:00am-12:00pm Pacific) Cost: Free Spread the Word!

Juliet, this is a fantastic idea.  Is this something we want to promote with the Jones Library system?   Maybe it could be discussed at the next meeting.  Donna
