The Richardson Public Library offers a variety of store brand and open-pollinated seeds free of charge at its Seed Library, with packets of seeds located in labeled, vintage card catalog drawers across from the Adult Services information desk. The collection includes vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers, with inventory changing throughout the year based on donations and popularity. A nearby binder/notebook includes planting instructions for each kind of seed.
No library card is needed to “check out” seeds—gardeners are asked to take no more than 10 packets at a time. If you’d like to donate seeds, a donation box and forms are located on top of the seed library.
