Join us for a fun and creative Art & Craft Supply Swap at the library! This is a fantastic opportunity to refresh your craft supplies, share with fellow crafters, and discover new materials for your next project. Whether you're into scrapbooking, knitting, painting, or any other craft, this event is for you!
Donate: October 28–November 6, during regular library hours. Donations only accepted at the Lacey Timberland Library.
Donation Guidelines: All donated art and craft supplies must be clean, usable, and organized by type (for example, paper with paper and beads with beads) to make sorting and swapping easier. If you can create with it and it’s in good working condition, we’ll probably take it!
