In the mission of engaging community, providing access, and inspiring life-long learning, Cumberland County Library now offers a Seed Library that will encourage the tradition of seed saving, nurturing locally-adapted, organic plant varieties, and fostering a community of sharing. We have an ever-changing collection of herbs, flowers, fruits, and vegetables!
