So many people love gardening, and the library is here to help you grow your own vegetables and flowers. Home-grown vegetables taste great and are a fun family project. At each branch we have a SEED library where you can get free seed packets to grow at home. Visit any MMSCL branch in person and choose from a selection of seasonal seed varieties. All have been selected to grow in our area. All you need is a library card. You can take a limited number of packets per visit; just head to the Adult Services Desk to get some seeds. They are yours to keep and grow.
We will also be highlighting a variety of seasonal and international spices throughout the year. If you enjoy cooking and exploring new recipes, check out the spice library at the Main Branch. Past spices we have explored include za’atar, pink pepper, and dill. Sign out a packet of spice, grab a free recipe booklet that includes a history of the spice and its origins, and try out your cooking skills with a new spice.
