Spring 2025 Options - All Locations
Food Security Programming
Are you interested in learning more about food security and food sovereignty? Just curious about reducing your grocery bill this summer? Check out our Food Security Programming options like these NourishNS coloring books, recipe books, or foraging resource guides, or learn about building your own vertical garden and organize a regular meetup for others!

Back by popular demand, we are thrilled to offer a FREE seed library for the 2025 season (supported by food security funding). Due to limited quantities, library users are asked to limit their selections to FIVE (5) seed packages per household.
Available Varieties (subject to change based on availability):
| Vegetables | Herbs |
| Beans (Green, Yellow, Burgundy) | Basil |
| Cucumbers | Savory |
| Lettuce & Greens | Dill |
| Peas (snow, snap) | Rosemary |

Other On-Demand Programming Options
All ECRL locations have on-demand options like word searches, crossword puzzles, and coloring sheets always available - just ask your local Library Assistant if you can't find them!
