Concurrent Program

Seed Library Symposium

Friday, June 2, 2023
8:00 AM – 8:45 AM PT
Location: A8
Did you know there are seed libraries in more than 54 California library systems? This session is for new and experienced seed librarians as well as anyone interested in starting their own seed library (or just learning more about how seed libraries are run). We'll talk about sourcing seeds, marketing, programs, partners, and funding possibilities such as the California State Library's Sustainable California Libraries grants or Inspiration grants. We'll profile a few existing libraries, detail some strategies to mitigate common problems, and have plenty of time for discussion with each other. Bring seeds to swap if you've got them!
