The Semillistas Library is a small, emerging community library in downtown Ithaca, NY. This collection includes cultural texts, movement inspired writings, as well as educational texts on small-scale farming and sustainable living.

We view literature, alongside oral tradition and experiential scholarship, as an important tool to expand knowledge. Alongside the Semillistas Gallery, the library expands awareness and knowledge around Indigenous culture, people-led movements, body autonomy, seed sovereignty, and more.

The Semillistas Library seeks to give power back to the community through the expansion of knowledge, while fueling the centuries-long-resistance to colonization, in a way that promotes community healing.
