The Jaffrey Public Library’s newest endeavor will ask its patrons to check out items that will hopefully never be checked back in.
This Saturday, the library will have a soft opening for its seed lending library, a program that will allow townspeople to check out heirloom seeds from the library in the hopes of creating an atmosphere where community members are growing heirloom plants and sharing their seeds with others.
“The idea is to save, preserve, and share heirloom seeds in the community,” said Jaffrey Public Library Director Julie Perrin, in a phone interview Monday. “It’s an important initiative for the environment because it supports sustainability and helps to propagate heirloom seeds.”
