Do you like to garden? Are you looking for an activity to do with your family? The Shelby County Public Library is encouraging gardeners to grow an extra row of food this summer for needy families in our community. As food prices have risen, more families need food aid. Both Shelbyville and Morristown libraries will collect produce to distribute to food pantries. If you need seeds or have seeds to donate, you can visit the new Seed Library at the Velma Wortman Morristown Branch of the Shelby County Library.
