Seed LibraryWelcome to the Seed Library at the Newberg Public Library. Our seed library is a community resource where people can “borrow” seeds, grow them, and (ideally) return seeds saved from their plants at the end of the season. It promotes local gardening, biodiversity, and seed sharing. This Seed library is open to gardeners of all ages and experience levels. You do not need to have a library card to participate. Seeds are distributed free of charge.
