Plant a Seed…Read
One of our featured displays this month on the 3rd floor of the library is gardening themed. Come see what books we have on display today!
Seed Library
Need some seeds? The Seed Library is a collection of open-pollinated and heirloom seeds that are available for Round Rock citizens to take home and plant. Check them out on the 1st floor behind the desk! We also accept seed donations.
Round Rock Seed Savers
Meet fellow gardeners and support the seed library by coming to a meeting of the Seed Savers! These volunteers get together to clean, husk, and sort donated seeds so they can be checked out to patrons. They meet twice a month, on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays. All ages welcome.
