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
Opened in 2021, this branch encompasses 24,000-square-feet and fills a service gap in the growing Perry Township community. Patrons will find a varied collection of materials at the branch, including materials in Spanish and children’s Burmese language materials to support the diverse community of immigrants who live on Indy’s south side.
Amenities include a community meeting room that can hold 203 guests, a fireplace, a marketplace, computer stations, a children's and teen zone, and an inviting outdoor patio space.
