The place you go for gardening books is now the same place you go for seeds to plant! The St. Charles Public Library's Seed Library (located in the Snack Stop on our main level) offers heirloom and open-pollinated seeds free to the community. While a green thumb might help, there are no requirements to take seeds. You do not need a library card and you do not have to save/return seeds at the end of the growing season. There is no limit but please take only what you intend to grow. You can always come back for more! Please call 630-584-0076 ext. 1 if you have additional questions about our seed library.
