FRIENDS OF THE NORTH UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY LIBRARY
Join us with your friends and family to share your garden. Bring what you have to share; take home something you really want. Be sure to bring a bag to take home your finds.
Bring any extra bounty from your garden (produce, fruit, herbs, flowers, plants in pots, seeds, seedlings, tools etc.) Anything garden related is welcome.
Catch up on the latest from the Seed Library. Our newsletters share seasonal tips, garden ideas, and stories from fellow growers in the community.
Seed Library Guidelines 🌱
To help keep the Seed Library fair and available to everyone, please keep these guidelines in mind:
-
One Seed Set per Household
Each household may request one seed set at a time. A seed set contains six seeds of one specific variety. -
Requests Every Two Weeks
Due to limited inventory, households may submit one request every two weeks. -
Include Alternate Choices
Please list up to four alternate seed choices in order of preference in case your first choice is unavailable. -
Limited Supply
Our seed supply is limited, so we will fulfill requests as seeds are available. -
Temporary Pauses
If supplies run low or requests become backlogged, the Seed Library may pause requests. Updates will be shared when seeds become available again.
How to Request Seeds 🌼
1. Choose Your Seeds
Review the Seed Library inventory list and select your preferred seed variety, along with at least one (ideally three) alternate choices.
2. Visit the Library
During open hours, bring your list to the North University Community Library and select your seeds from the Seed Library catalog.
3. Email Your Request
If the library is closed, email your request with your preferred and alternate seed choices to:
northuniversityseedlibrary@yahoo.com
4. Pick Up Your Seeds
Once your request is fulfilled, stop by the North University Community Library to pick up your seed package. Seeds will be held for 7 days, after which unclaimed seeds will be returned to the library so others can request them.
