Bring Composting Education to Your Public Library: Let’s Go Compost is proud to support public libraries and local communities. We provide composting and soil education programs that empower libraries to host hands-on learning for all ages. From kids STEM clubs and onsite gardens to expanding seed libraries, tool-lending programs, and food waste collection points, our goal is to help libraries become hubs for healthy food systems education.
