A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Responding to community interest in growing food and pandemic-spurred food insecurity, the seed library was started to provide community members with the resources and encouragement to gain food, knowledge and experience with sustainable seed practices.

Through campus and community relationships, the Mansfield Library provides the public with seeds (many of which are regionally adapted) and information about gardening, seed saving and food systems.

Students and non-student community members alike can take seeds from the seed library. The seed library also provides resources about gardening, a community online forum for gardeners to ask questions, and occasional workshops.
