Imagine being able to check-out seeds, tools to plant and even a parcel of land with your Long Beach Public Library card.
The innovators at the Long Beach Public Library and Long Beach Grows are working to establish a Seed Library and a Tool Library at the Main Branch Maker Lab of the Long Beach Public Library System.
Goals:
- Establish a seed library at the downtown main library branch
- Eventually, a tool library will be established at the main branch library as well
- The libraries will syndicate to neighborhood branches based on demand
What We Need:
- Support the Long Beach Public Library and Long Beach Grows partnership efforts to create the downtown seed library
Latest Status:

- 2/2/15 Seed Libraries were threatened to be shut down but recent work by the Sustainable Economies Law Center is changing the way the government views these community assets. Stay updated through SELC’s campaign.
