Craft Supply Swap

About this event

We are collecting your new/like-new/gently-used craft supplies and finding them a new home where they will be used!

Donation Days:

Donate items from Saturday October 31 through Friday November 6 only, during regular library hours.

Please limit to 1-2 bags or boxes.

Bring to the Reference Desk.

If you donate supplies, you will receive a ticket for admission to the first hour of the swap.
