Fwd: Get on the Seed Library Map!
by Wendy Chapman 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

Hello all, Please see the below e-mail with regard to the Global Seed Library Census. By now, many of you should have heard from your volunteer contact. In some cases that person was me. If you have not been contacted and would like to fill out the census for your active Seed Library please follow the links below. If you have any questions feel free to contact me! Thanks, Wendy Wendy L. Chapman LoT Coordinator Buchanan District Library 269.695.3681 Ext. 16 *www.buchananlibrary.org <http://www.buchananlibrary.org>* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Seed Library Network <rebecca(a)seedlibrarynetwork.ccsend.com> Date: Wed, Feb 7, 2024 at 1:49 PM Subject: Get on the Seed Library Map! To: <w.chapman(a)buchananlibrary.com> Have you completed our seed census? Cool Beans! Seed Library Network Get on the Seed Library Map! We are in the midst of an exciting project: a seed library census that is slowly creating a digital map of the world’s seed libraries! Working off the list of over 2600 entries of seed libraries collected over the last decade, a group of volunteers is sending an email to each email address listed and requesting that they complete the short census form. The project’s focus is on currently active seed libraries. The census is available in fourteen languages. (See below) Can you help us spread the word? If you manage a seed library and haven’t received the Seed Library Census email, check your Spam or Promo folders. The emails were sent from volunteers’ email addresses so they may have been directed to these folders because of unfamiliar addresses. If you know of other seed libraries in your area, please forward the email with the census link to them. This includes schools, county Extensions, non-profits, farms, or community seed libraries.They should be currently active in lending free seeds to their communities. Do you have multiple seed library branches? We ask that you fill in the census for each branch. Make your work easy by only answering Section 2 (i.e., seed collection, resources & needs) the first time you fill in the census. For the other branches, you only need to fill in Section 1(i.e., name, address, type of location), and add a photo (optional and only available for Google emails. Take a photo of your seed library (preferably of the actual seed library, not the building) add the text “Get Your Seed Library on the Map!” and post it on social media with a link to the census form, bit.ly/seedcensus. Be sure to tag us @seedlibraries. Why are we doing a seed census? Seed libraries are popping up throughout our global community and there is much wisdom to be shared. Seed librarians and gardeners know that developing a local seed economy serves many in their communities, creates regionally climate-adapted seed collections, and maintains access to a genetically diverse supply of open-pollinated seeds. Our goal is to build a network where seed librarians can share their experiences and knowledge with others and nurture the continued development of seed libraries throughout the world. Global Seed Library Census Links Languages We apologize for only being able to offer this census in several languages and acknowledge that some of these languages are part of a history of oppression and colonization. Please feel free to fill in the form in a language that best meets the needs of your community. If you have any questions, comments, or corrections about the census, please email us <seedlibrarycensus(a)gmail.com>.
