Craft Supplies Swap with the Cranium

Join us to swap your craft supplies! 

Donation Guidelines:

Bring all craft swap/gift wrap donations to the 1st Floor Help Desk, 8/26 - 8/28, any time the library is open. On Saturday, 8/29, donations will ONLY be accepted at the door between 2pm and 4pm.

Follow the "friend rule": if you wouldn't give the donation to your friend, don't bring it to the swap! Nearly empty bottles of paint, short bits of rope or yarn, fabric scraps less than 8" square, etc., will not be accepted for the swap. Sets or kits do not need to be complete, but should still contain usable quantities of what materials there are.

Please be thoughtful about the quantities you donate and take from the swap; it's okay to donate more than you take or take more than you donate, but we want everyone to have a chance to find something fun!

Any donations not taken in the swap will either go to The Cranium, future library programs, or be donated.

This program is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Friends of the Thomas Crane Public Library. To find out more about their work and how you can get involved, visit the Friends of the Library webpage.
