Join your fellow artists and crafters for a craft supply swap! Purge your craft supply stash, reduce waste and clutter, and go home with some new-to-you items!
Are you feeling creatively cluttered? Is your craft stash overflowing with unused supplies?
Bring your unused/gently used yarn, fabric, drawing, scrapbooking, jewelry-making, floral arranging, and other supplies to the first ever BPL Craft Supply Swap!
How does it work?
1. Register for the event on our website calendar.
2. Find 1-2 clean box(es) or paper shopping bag(s) no bigger than 10" tall, 15" wide, 20" long. BPL will have a limited supply of boxes and bags available for registered participants.
3. Load the box(es)/bag(s) with clean and usable arts and craft supplies you no longer need (list of acceptable items will be emailed to participants 1 week before event).
4. Drop off your supplies at the library Monday, August 4 through Thursday, August 7 from 9am to 7pm or on Friday, August 8 from 9am to 12pm. We will categorize the items for easier shopping and swapping. You will receive a ticket for each box/bag of supplies you bring for the event--we will not count or keep track of exactly how many items you bring, but we expect all participants to follow an honor code and not take more than 2 boxes of supplies home with them.
5. Bring your ticket to the Craft Supply Swap on Saturday, August 9 at 11:00 am, where you can refill your boxes/bags with new-to-you supplies.
6. Meet and network with other crafty people and give ideas and feedback for library art and craft-related programming.
6. Enjoy your creative treasures!
Please note: All unclaimed supplies left over from the event will be used for library programming or donated to a local donation center.
Thank you for celebrating creativity and sustainability with us--we can't wait to see what you create!
