Program Description

Details

One more reason to attend this year’s Card Crawl open house event at the library! Support sustainable practices and promote resource sharing. Most important of all, clear out your extra art supplies so there’s room for the new supplies you’ll take home. 

No extra supplies to bring? No problem. You’re welcome to take what you like. Leftover supplies will be given to charity.

Timeline

  • We will start collecting items at 10 a.m. and stop accepting new donations at noon.
  • Swapping will run from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.
