Seed Library is now available at Bridgeview Public Library!
Bridgeview library is excited to partner with the students from Wilkins Jr. High school Garden Club to provide a Seed Library!
The students have been working hard packaging seeds for local libraries with the guidance of the club’s sponsor, Mrs.Brazee.
All seeds are free and available on a first come, first serve basis while supplies last. We will not hold seeds aside for patrons.
Do you have any extra seeds? We will have baskets available for seed donations.
Donations
Although we always love when you think of us when it is time to donate your gently used books, we ask that you respectfully not dump them in our book drop when we are closed.
Also the library will not except the following as donations:
Text Books of any kind
Moldy, dirty, smelly items
Broken, damaged, or ripped items.
Thank you so much for your help!
