Art and Craft Supply Swap 

Do you have extra art or craft supplies that you no longer need but don’t want to throw out? SPL is organizing an art and craft supply swap! Buttons, fabric, stamps, crayons, pipe cleaners, yarn, beads, colored paper, cookie cutters... if you can craft or make art with it, bring it to the library during the month of April to donate, and make sure to come back on Friday and Saturday, May 1 or 2 for a free take-what-you’d-like swap and find something new-to-you!
