Mitchell Library Joins Seed Lending Movement

Last updated on Friday, March 14, 2014

(MITCHELL) - The Mitchell Community Public Library is joining the seed lending movement that is spreading across American libraries.

Beginning today, stop by the library, select seeds from the collection and take a few extra envelopes.

When the plants are ready to harvest, collect and return the seeds to the library.

Digital Yearbooks

The library has begun the process of digitizing its Mitchell High School yearbook collection in order to preserve a piece of local history and facilitate better access to this collection.

Once the digitization process is completed, patrons will have the option of accessing the yearbooks in person at the library or online.

During the digitization process the library's collection of Mitchell High School yearbooks will be temporarily unavailable.

Raising Money

The Friends of the Library have partnered with AmazonSmile for a fundraising campaign.

AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way to support a favorite charitable organization each shopping visit to Amazon, and at no cost.

Go to smile.amazon.com, on the first visit select "Friends of the Mitchell Community Public Library" before shopping.
