From books and films to seeds and shovels, the LOL collection offers public library members everything they need to start growing and enjoying their own food while respecting and working in harmony with nature.
Beautiful, hand-built architectural displays, made by local artist Johnny Poux have been installed at each of our 15 sites, and house a nearly 200-volume collection of books (sourced locally, of course), as well as a seed library, and essential gardening tools and AV equipment.
