Swap guidelines
- If you can’t attend the event but have supplies to donate, please drop them off between Feb 20th and Feb 24th, whenever the library is open.
- If you have a special item, you may hold onto it until you find someone to swap with or arrange a trade before the event.
- Instead of a strict 1-for-1 limit, take thoughtfully!
- There is no buying or selling!
- All ages welcome!
What will happen to leftover materials?
Depending on what is left after the swap, leftovers will be handled in one of a few ways:
- Used in library programming
- Held in library storage until the next craft swap
- Donated to other local non-profits that offer creative programs
