My Nonprofit Reviews

We have had a Cleveland Seed Bank Seed Library here at the West River Branch of the Elyria Public Library for at least four years - and it has been one of the best things we have ever done. So many of our patrons absolutely love it - plus we have had new patrons who came in because they heard we had it. We have put in our own garden, that we started with seeds from the CSB Seeds, and the produce has been given to patrons. Thanks to having a seed library we have run multiple gardening programs and it has made a very positive impact on our library. We all love having it here so much, and hope to continue having it for many years to come.

I work for Elyria Public Library and we have been a Cleveland Seed Bank library for the last few years, and it has been a wonderful collaboration from the start! The seeds have been a great draw for patrons and the CSB has been helpful with programming, finding sponsors, and providing seeds. Working with the CSB has been incredibly rewarding, and we have really enjoyed the experience. Every year we start a garden here at the library with their seeds and we give to patrons all the produce we harvest. They have been an invaluable resource and I hope to continue working with them for many more years.
