Library of Things

Missoula Public Library has more than just books and movies!  Your library card gets you access to a variety of nontraditional collection items as well.

Missoula Public Seed Library

Missoula Public Library is happy to announce the return of the Seed Library!

 

Our friends at Five Valleys Seed Library have donated us seeds so we can establish the library’s own seed library. You will find the seeds right outside the Level Three Demo Kitchen in the big cabinet.

 

Please take your harvested seed donations directly back to the Five Valleys Seed Library at their new home located at 1657 River Rd. The library can accept donations of unopened seed packets. Happy Growing!
