Too many craft supplies you’re never going to use, just sitting around the house? Looking to refresh your craft supply hoard? Join other arts and craft enthusiasts at the Library for our Craft Supply Swap! Bring in items that you don’t want anymore (papercrafts, yarn, thread, fabric, stickers, pencils, ribbon, glue, tools, etc.) all day Friday, July 19 and until 2pm on Saturday, July 20. Then stop by during regular library hours on Saturday (7/20) and Sunday (7/21) to pick up new-to-you supplies! Don’t have any items to bring? Don’t worry about it! Anyone can “shop”, no donation required.
Any items left at the end of the swap will be donated to local organizations or Goodwill.
