Richmond (Calif.) Public Library Opens Seed-Lending Library

A project of the Richmond Rivets in collaboration with the Richmond Public Library, the ‘Richmond Grows Seed-Lending Library’ opened in May 2010 and allows the public to ‘borrow’ seeds for free, hoping that borrowers will donate seeds back to the library following harvest. It is believed to be the only seed-lending library currently operating in a public library in the U.S. The Seed-Lending Library is also a fiscally sponsored project of Urban Tith and can accept tax-deductible donations through them.
