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

As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
