A seed packing group looks a lot like an assembly line. Everyone will have a dedicated job and work for 2-3 hours on a selected seed project. Tasks include:  

  • Labeling coin-sized envelopes with identifying information about our seeds  
  • Using tools (scoops, cups, or even a fingertip) to fill packets with seed  
  • Sealing envelopes with small stickers to ensure the seeds are secure and ready for patrons 
  • Bundling seed packets with provided rubber bands  
  • Keeping an accurate count of the seed packets completed to support our system-wide inventory  

What is Seed Library? 

The Indianapolis Public Library Seed Library offers FREE seeds to patrons so they can grow plants that sustain them. We also offer workshops to help you learn the skills you need to grow a seed into a mature plant. Visit indypl.org/calendar to see our upcoming garden programs & events.

About the branch

The Wayne Branch Library first opened in December of 1969 in a shopping center located at 7341 Rockville Road. Due to high demand, the storefront space was enlarged in 1973, but the need for more space was evident. A permanent 13,500 square foot location opened in 1984, and the branch remains in that same building today. The Wayne Branch underwent a $1.1 million renovation in 2020 to add more seating and activity space, study rooms, and a quiet reading area, but still features the split design of a separate children's and adult wing.
