The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that a free little seed library has opened up in Cheyenne. The library has over 170 different varieties of flower, herb, and vegetable seeds selected for their ability to thrive in the area's climate. Residents of Laramie County that check out seeds are asked to grow them and then return any that are saved from the resulting crop.

According to the Cody Enterprise, the Park County Library System is also launching three seed libraries in Cody, Meeteetse, and Powell this month.
