Event Details

Have any craft supplies you no longer need or want? Looking for some creative inspiration? Join us for our craft supply swap! Drop off unneeded, but usable, supplies starting Monday, September 11 through Thursday, September 14. On Sunday, September 17, patrons are invited to come and "shop" from the donated items.

HOW: 

  • New or gently used craft supply donations will be accepted Monday, September 11 through Thursday, September 14 during normal library hours. Please bring your donation to the West End Desk. 
  • Those who make a donation will receive a ticket for free entry to the event on Sunday, September 17 from 1:00 - 3:30pm. 
  • For those who want to attend but don’t have a craft donation, we ask that you bring a non-perishable item on the day of the swap that will be given to the Frankfort Township Food Pantry. Suggested pantry donation items include: non-perishable food items, baby formula, diapers, or gift cards to local grocery stores.
  • Each craft swap attendee will be limited to two (2) bags of craft supplies. Any remaining craft supplies will be donated to a local organization.
