The seed library is the Cicero Public Library’s seed collection! Every growing season, from March to September, the seed library will be available for patrons to browse flower, fruit, vegetable, and herb seeds.

Patrons are welcome to look through the seed library’s drawers to see what seeds are available. Up to four seed packets can be taken home to start growing! Seed packets are provided at no cost to patrons and without expectation that they will return to the library.

What do seeds have to do with the library? Seeds are nature’s way of storing information on how to grow a plant. Each seed knows how to grow so that it will become a flower, fruit, vegetable, or herb. Our goal is to make nature available to patrons, and provide supporting information about each seed.

For 2023, our seeds are sourced from Seed Savers, Prairie Moon Nursery, and Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.
