I would like to invite our Michigan members who have seed libraries or are planning a seed library to the 2021 Seed Library Summit. The virtual event will be held on Sunday, October 24, 2021 from 12 pm to 3 pm. The MI Seed Library Network is excited to announce that our keynote speaker for the summit will be Bill McDorman, a seed saver, writer, and educator based in Cornville, Arizona. He is co-founder of The Down Home Project, Garden City Seeds, Seeds Trust, High Altitude Gardens, the Sawtooth Botanical Gardens, Seed School and the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance. He is author of the book *Basic Seed Saving*. Bill is the former executive director of Native Seeds/SEARCH and Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance. He now oversees the Patent Free Seed campaign, membership database, website updates and teaches Seed School whenever he is called. We will also be announcing our 2022 One Seed, One State seed selection! With Covid somewhat behind us, we plan to have a greater presence around the state this year. We are working to reach more libraries and have more supportive documents on the website. We will update everyone on the MSLN Board and some announcements having to do with the continued growth of our organization. There will be educational sessions and an opportunity for roundtable discussion. Please join us!

Please join your fellow seed librarians and the MI Seed Library Network for this fun and informative event!
