A craft supply swap is a fun, community-driven event where crafters and DIY enthusiasts can exchange new or gently used craft supplies they no longer need. It's a great way to refresh your supplies, find new inspiration, and reduce waste by giving unwanted materials a second life!

How does it work?

Donations

Participants can drop off items like fabric, yarn, beads, buttons, paints, brushes, scrapbook paper, knitting needles, stamps, ribbons, and other craft materials on the designated days. Library staff will sort donated materials.

Swap Day

On SWAP DAY, community members are invited to browse and take home materials. Small paper bags will be provided, or participants can bring their own. 

Leftover Materials

Any remaining items will be available at the Reference Desk the following week.
