Alright, sent an email to the head of my local library about setting up a seed library there.
Seeds libraries are places you can go and "check out" seeds. Grow the seeds. Let one of the grown plants go to seed. Harvest the seeds. Then "return" the seeds back to the seed library!
Free seeds!!!!
Check and see if you have a seed library near you: https://www.communityseednetwork.org/map/
Or connect and share seeds with folks online:
https://exchange.seedsavers.org

They're interested in building out a seed library as well!!!
YAYAYAYAY!!!!!!
I'm developing some basic classes on how to do low-budget, simple, indoor (in any space) hydroponics. I'm also building out some starter kits to give away.
I'll see if the local library would like me to give these courses and kits when the seed library gets built as a way to promote it and get word out to the local community.

We've got official approval to start building it out!
We'll start the official planning, building, and then community awareness initiatives and concurrent programming and training!
Yay free seeds for the town!
Yay free classes on gardening and hydroponics!
Gardening is one thing. Community is another thing entirely.
Build community. Feed each other.

My local library built the seed library!
The local Master Gardeners provided a lot of the intitial seeds (oh my gosh we are stocked!!!). They used an old card catalogue to store them. Today's the kickoff!
The idea is you "check out seeds" from the library, plant/grow/harvest, let some go to seed, then "return the seeds" back to the library!
Free seeds for everyone!
