THEY DID IT AGAIN!!! My local library built out another seed library at a second branch!!! The first one has been such a success that they've begun to install seed libraries at other branches. This one is smaller but is well used (see the "check out" list) and can be grown easily by placing more holders on the wall. I like this approach. The main branch is using an old card catalogue. This branch is using wall holders. There's no right way to do it, just what works best for your area. Word from the librarians are that they're mostly self sustaining. Many folks check out seeds for free, plant/grow/harvest their plants, and let some of those plants go to seed as well - returning those seeds back to the library (or checking in their seeds). One seed turns into hundreds of seeds. The more this is used, the more it grows. #solarPunk #seedLibrary #foodSecurity #Libraries

@tinker@infosec.exchange that's awesome. Are there existing examples that we can look to to have confidence people will bother "returning" seeds after they have some?

@tinker@infosec.exchange So excited to see this all working out. Looks amazing. We have a lot of seed libraries around here (as well as a bunch of library-of-things garden helper stuff) and it's such a community-forward thing to do.

@tinker@infosec.exchange thank you for sharing! I just sent it to my local library (Munich, Germany) and asked, why we don’t have stuff like this.

@tinker@infosec.exchange GENIUS ! Also is "preservation of REAL seeds" NOT "hybrid stuff lab made". That's quite an idea !
