“In addition to food access, sustainability and climate resilience, I think there’s also an element of personal and community empowerment,” Davidson said. “Climate change and lack of food access can make people feel powerless, and growing your own crops — however small, and whether in a personal plot or community garden — helps to counteract that.”
Beyond the usual books and computers, Davidson said libraries are meant to be community resource centers, from children’s storytimes to attending a community class, that serve all Madison residents, even those without a library card.
“Libraries are for everyone, and that doesn’t just mean people from diverse backgrounds or of diverse identities, although it means that, too; it also means people with diverse interests and needs,” Davidson said.
Liz Boyd, MPL’s Digital Services & Marketing Manager, told the Cardinal the Seed Library is one of the most popular things they do at the libraries. Alongside the free seeds, she said several MPL branches also host gardening classes and design workshops that explain exactly what first-time gardeners will need.
