Building Ecological Literacy at the Library
Presented by: Rikki Longino and Jeri Gravlin, The Salt Lake City Public Library

The Salt Lake City Public Library runs a 16 bed community garden (The Plot) and a 760 member Seed Library. The space just north of the Main Library downtown has hosted not only community gardeners, but performance art, live music, children's read-alouds and more. During the COVID-19 pandemic The Plot garden has been closed; however, in response to the crisis, we established an edible landscaping bed for public forage, donated over 1000 lbs. of fresh organic produce to the Women's Resource Center, and mailed thousands of seeds to be planted in home gardens across the Valley.
