To Prepare
Label everything you bring with as much information as you can (species, origin, date collected, saved, dug up etc.)
Help us keep the library tidy by bringing everything in a box, bag, or other container.
Please don’t bring anything that’s super special to you if you’re not ready to part with it. If something is left on a table, we’ll assume it’s up for grabs.
