Hi everyone,

We’re looking forward to our Arts & Crafts Supplies Swap this week. How it works (it’s our first time doing this, so we’re hoping this is clear):

Drop off arts & crafts supplies* in good and usable condition ahead of time on Tuesday, February 4 and Wednesday, February 5 during our regular hours (10-8).

If you drop off supplies, you get to come to the swap an hour early (2-3pm) on Friday!

Arts & Crafts Supplies Swap takes place on Friday, Feb. 7, 3-5 PM & Saturday, Feb. 8, 10 AM-2 PM.

You don’t have to bring something to take something! You don’t have to take something to bring something!

*We cannot accept recycled items that could be used for crafting like old magazines, egg cartons, cardboard boxes, etc.
