The Holbrook Public Library is hosting a Community Craft Supply Swap, and we need YOUR help filling the tables!

* Got yarn you'll never use?
* Paints, brushes, or art supplies collecting dust?
* Extra fabric, ribbon, scrapbook supplies, or crafting tools?
*Supplies from that project you swore you were going to finish? (We've all been there!

Give those forgotten supplies a second chance to inspire someone else's creativity!

* Donation Drop-Off Days: November 21, 24 & 25 during regular Library hours.

Whether you're clearing out your craft closet, making room for holiday projects, or just ready to admit that your scrapbooking phase is officially over, we'd love your donations!

Less waste, more creativity, and a whole lot of community spirit!

Stay tuned for details about the swap itself, when you can stop by and discover some new-to-you crafting treasures!
