Seed Library

It’s getting to be that time of year again – time to start thinking about spring gardening!  Being a part of The Red Rock Public Library’s Seed Library is a great way to get started- and keep growing!

It’s easy!

Borrow up to 5 packets of seeds from our Seed Library
Plant the seeds in your garden and watch them grow
Save seeds from your harvest and share with friends or bring them to the library

This program is in partnership with Nipigon & Dorion Public Libraries, as well as The Nipigon-Red Rock Horticultural Society.

Northshore 1,000 Books Before Age 6

Starting October 20th, come in to the library to sign up your child(ren) for our 1,000 Books Before Age 6 reading program!
In conjunction with EarlyOn, The Red Rock Public Library is proud to offer this exciting ongoing challenge.

It’s very simple:
Keep track of the books read with our paper logs provided at registration
Go to the library to receive an award for every 100 book milestone!
When your little reader reaches 1,000 books, they will receive a diploma and an award!

1 book per day for 3 years = 1,095
10 books per week for 2 years = 1,040
3 books a day for 1 year = 1,095
Any age appropriate book counts, no matter where you get it or how many times you read it!
You may count the same title for each child entered!
