We hope to build our collection to contain only organic and regionally adapted seeds. We have many books and classes on seed-saving and growing gardens. Check out the Homesteaders Club to learn more.
Recycling:
Dear Friends of the Library—We are now recycling used/empty and new/unused printer cartridges, cell phones/smartphones, old laptop computers, and tablets. Please remove user info, and passwords and unlock all phones and tablets before you donate. Computer hard drives will be cleaned of all personal information by CGRP. Your library makes a profit on the sales of these items. Please include AC adapters and cords when possible. Just drop the items in our collection box. Thank you for helping us recycle!
