A seed packing group looks a lot like an assembly line. Everyone will have a dedicated job and work for 2-3 hours on a selected seed project. Tasks include:
- Labeling coin-sized envelopes with identifying information about our seeds
- Using tools (scoops, cups, or even a fingertip) to fill packets with seed
- Sealing envelopes with small stickers to ensure the seeds are secure and ready for patrons
- Bundling seed packets with provided rubber bands
- Keeping an accurate count of the seed packets completed to support our system-wide inventory
What is Seed Library?
The Indianapolis Public Library Seed Library offers FREE seeds to patrons so they can grow plants that sustain them. We also offer workshops to help you learn the skills you need to grow a seed into a mature plant. Visit indypl.org/calendar to see our upcoming garden programs & events.

About the branch
The Spades Park Branch was built with funds from a $120,000 grant by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation and opened in 1912, six months after the opening of the city’s other remaining Carnegie Library, the East Washington Branch. The 7,500-square-foot branch underwent a $610,000 renovation in 1987 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012.
