Craft Supply Swap

Do you have surplus craft supplies? Want to explore a new hobby, medium, or material? Bring your partially used beading, fiber, or paper craft supplies to the Help Desk June 24-27 and receive a ticket. Bring that ticket to the library on Saturday, June 28, 1-3 pm to “shop” for new-to-you craft supplies! All remaining materials become available to the public from 3 to 4 pm, after the swap.
