Arts & Crafts Swap

You asked, we listened!  This year we'll be holding TWO Craft Swaps, one in March and one in November. 

Have extra art supplies in good condition? Help us divert materials from landfills while encouraging environmentally friendly creation!

HOW IT WORKS:  Community members who are interested can donate their new or gently used art supplies they no longer need to the Coos Bay Public Library from March 16 - through the day of the Art Swap on March 28. On the day of the Art Swap, come to our big meeting room and browse to see what art supplies you might be interested in! You can take up to as much as you donate (or just a couple items if you don't have anything to donate).

DONATION GUIDELINES: Arts and craft materials only, must be fit for reuse (new or gently used), must fit in your car, and be of the following categories:

• sewing materials, fabric, threads, needles, etc
• yarn, crochet and knitting tools
• paintbrushes, tubes and bottles of paint
• canvases and drawing pads
• stringing and beads
• paper, card stock, scrapbooking
• stickers, stamps, and stencils
• frames or easels, art project kits
• fun crafty items, pom poms, pipe cleaners, glitter etc.

Materials to leave at home: broken or dried out materials, electric equipment, lumber, wood, or loose boards, in-progress art works, smelly materials like solvents and gallons of paint.
