Thanks to the LSU Ag 2023 Grant for Community Library Homesteading Project the Jackson Parish Library is now able to offer patrons an abundant seed library, heated propagation kits, egg incubators, butterfly habitats as well as multiple books to help educate you through the homesteading process.

To register for the items associated with the Homesteading Project, go by the Main Branch of the Jackson Parish Library, located at 614 South Polk Avenue in Jonesboro. You must have a current Library card to participate.

“Our Library Homesteading Project has become a huge success and an extreme asset to the communities of Jackson Parish,” said Jonesboro Branch Manager Angela Walsworth. “We are honored to be the recipient of such an amazing grant as well as our partnership with LSU Ag.”
