Seed Library

How to get involved:

From March - June, Harborfields Public Library cardholders may check out up to FOUR (4) packets of seeds per month throughout the season while supplies last.

Our seeds are organic and Non-GMO that are selected for ease, are disease resistant, and are well suited to NY State gardens.  Seeds are available while supplies last on a first-come, first-serve basis.  After selecting your seeds from the display, stop by the adult reference desk to "check them out." Happy Gardening!

The Seed Library will reopen on March 1, 2025.
  1. Sign up at the Reference Desk. Please only take those seeds that you will grow.
  2. Plant your seeds. All our packets have detailed instructions, including timing and requirements. For seed sharing purposes it is very important to keep records of the plants you grow.
  3. Share your seeds. We encourage you to share seeds from plants you’ve grown for future generations. We will be happy to accept your most healthy open pollinated (not hybrid) seeds in the envelopes provided.
