Seed Libraries Are Libraries

Libraries have become a beacon of connection between an inexperienced consumer and learning to grow seeds as the seed library. I stress the importance of seed sovereignty and encourage everyone to engage with their local seed library. Through a literature review and a case study of the New York Public Library's own seed library program, I posit that seed libraries perfectly embody the ethos of library services: expanding access through equity and intellectual freedom, engaging in sustainable practices, and striving towards the public good.

Abstract

Libraries have become a beacon of connection between an inexperienced consumer and learning to grow seeds as the seed library. I stress the importance of seed sovereignty and encourage everyone to engage with their local seed library. Through a literature review and a case study of the New York Public Library's own seed library program, I posit that seed libraries perfectly embody the ethos of library services: expanding access through equity and intellectual freedom, engaging in sustainable practices, and striving towards the public good.
