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.

Haughville Branch

About the branch
The longest continuously-operating branch in the IndyPL system began on the city’s east side in 1896 but moved to the village of Haughville after 1897. The branch’s many homes included the former town hall on Germania Avenue in which a fire in 1904 partially destroyed the building. After the fire, a storefront in the Michigan Plaza Shopping Center was constructed that operated until 2003, when the current 12,000-square-foot library opened on West Michigan Street.
