Seed Library

About the Seed Library

The goal of the Reddick Public Library District (RPLD) Seed Library is to build connections and foster learning for our community by providing accessible resources that can be utilized in our area. 


The RPLD Seed Library is open from March to September. Seeds are available while supplies last. 


There is no cost to borrow seeds.


Donations are accepted year-round. We accept all seeds, but we will prioritize clean, mature, open-pollinated or heirloom seeds.
