Donations accepted for Maplewood Library's first Arts & Crafts Supply Swap from 9/28-10/5!
Bring new or gently used arts and crafts supplies to Maplewood Library between September 28rd and October 5th. All items should be brought to the Main Library's Info desk during regular library hours!
The Supply Swap will be on Tuesday, October 13th from 6:00-7:45pm.

- Small items should be bundled into clear bags and grouped by size, style, theme or color. Ideally, items should have an accompanying description when the original packaging is absent.
