FAQs

What supplies/donations will be accepted? 

• Arts and crafts materials only (fabrics, yarn, paper, patterns, tools, pain, beads, etc.) 

• We will NOT accept office supply donations (binders, file organizers, etc)  

• Must be able to be reused (new or gently used, not expired) 

• When in doubt, use the best friend rule – would I give this to my best friend?  

• Donations may be turned away based on staff or volunteer discretion

 
I have a couple of small boxes full of random supplies. I don’t have time to sort it all out. Can I just drop it off and be done with it?

• We gently ask that all donated craft supplies have containers (i.e. please don’t give us a handful of beads, please bag it or box it), and be clean and free of damage.

​​

Do I need to bring supplies to participate? Do I have to donate crafts in order to
participate in the swap?

• Nope! We’ll ask people to be respectful and not hog supplies, but we anticipate we should have plenty of supplies to share. 
   

If I bring donations, do I have to take home unclaimed items? 

• Nope! Unswapped items will be used for library programs, donated or recycled.

 
Can I bring donations the day of the Swap?

• No, we cannot accept donations after Friday, August 2

 
How much can I take at once?

• We ask that everyone be respectful and plan to only leave with what you can carry. 

 

We recommend you bring a reusable tote to take your new-to-you items home in!
