Waukegan Public Library Launches New Seed Library

 New Seed Library

We are thrilled to announce the soft launch of our brand-new Seed Library at Waukegan Public Library! This innovative initiative is designed to empower our community to cultivate their own gardens, regardless of experience level. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just getting started, we invite you to explore this amazing resource.

A huge thank you to Rubi, one of our dedicated staff members, who brought this idea to life alongside two remarkable Waukegan High School students, Ashley and Daisy, as part of a Civics class project. Their enthusiasm and hard work have been instrumental in getting this project off the ground, and we couldn't be more grateful for their contributions.

We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener Program for their invaluable support and expertise. Their guidance has helped us ensure that our Seed Library is stocked with a diverse selection of seeds that thrive in our local environment.

Visit us today to take advantage of this unique opportunity! Come by, take some free seeds, and start planting your very own garden. Let’s grow together and make our community greener, one seed at a time!
