Do you have craft supplies stored away in boxes, overflowing from baskets, or otherwise cluttering your craft space? What about supplies you were always going to use, but haven’t? Have you collected more of one notion or supply than you can use, or are some of your supplies simply seeking a good home with another crafter?
Whatever the reason, Perry Public Library is here to help! This August, we’re hosting a Summer Craft Swap from Monday, Aug. 25 through Saturday, Aug. 30 in our large Community Room.
Before we can swap, though, crafters need to bring in supplies to share! Plan to drop off your donated items at the Perry Public Library during open hours between Aug. 1-15. We won’t accept donations after this date because we need time to organize the items and prepare for an awesome Summer Craft Swap!
Current and aspiring crafters are invited to come share and swap craft supplies in good, usable condition. This event is perfect for both veteran and novice crafters, teachers looking for classroom supplies, and individuals hoping to try a new craft without a big investment. At the Summer Craft Swap, you can clear out space, swap for new supplies, and help other crafters!
DONATE: Donations of craft supplies in good, usable condition will be accepted at the library between Aug. 1-15. Please be prepared to donate items in unwanted totes, bags, or boxes that can easily be dropped off. What can you donate? Yarn, paint, brushes, fabric, floral, craft papers, stickers, buttons, fabric, knitting needles and crochet hooks, markers and pens, ink, stamps and stamp pads, scrap booking supplies, jewelry supplies, beads, sewing notions… if you can create with it and it’s in good, usable condition, it will be welcome at our Swap. Please be sure to only bring items during open library hours and give them directly to a librarian at the circulation desk.
SWAP: Come to the library to swap craft supplies at the Perry Public Library Summer Craft Swap from Aug. 25-30 in our community room. Don’t have anything to donate at the beginning of August? That’s okay! Feel free to stop by and bring home supplies, too. Please remember to bring your own box or reusable bags to carry home your new supplies! Any leftover supplies will be used by the library for programs or donated.
