The seed library

A ‘seed library’ at school? At the Raymond-Uldry Business School in the canton of Geneva this is already a reality. A proposal by the media centre resulted in the school initiating a project around exchanging and growing seedlings which saw collaboration from vegetable garden to library to cafeteria.
The aim was to make the journey from seed to plate accessible and comprehensible for all students. This empirical school-based joint initiative also prompts literacy activities for which the media centre provides guidance and support. This article introduces the project and highlights the aspects of literacy education which can be developed by librarians.
