CRAFT DONATIONS NEEDED FOR LIBRARY’S COMMUNITY ARTS & CRAFT SUPPLY SWAP

May 30, 2023

To encourage creativity and reduce waste through reusing and repurposing, Fort Bend County Libraries will have a Community Arts & Craft Supply Swap on Saturday, September 2, in Meeting Room 1 of the University Branch Library, located at 14010 University Blvd in Sugar Land, on the UH campus.

Throughout the month of August, crafters and artists are encouraged to clean out their craft closets and donate any unwanted craft/art supplies in good, usable condition. Materials should be brought to the 2nd-floor reference desk or to one of the weekly Craft Squad Socials, which take place every Friday, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, at the library.

Crafters who bring their unused craft supplies by August 31 will receive special early access (10:00 to 11:00 am) to the Craft Swap on September 2.

From 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, on September 2, the Craft Swap is open to everyone, including those who did not contribute supplies during the donation period. This is an excellent way for anyone thinking about trying a new craft or hobby to pick up start-up materials without investing any money.

Examples of accepted craft supplies include yarn, stickers, buttons, fabric, unopened paint, brushes, knitting needles, crochet hooks, pens, markers, stamps, beads, scrapbooking materials, unused craft kits, and coloring books.

The Craft Squad meets weekly on Fridays, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, at the library. Anyone who enjoys crafts will have an opportunity to make new crafty friends, learn a new craft or two, and share tips, tricks, and resources with fellow crafters.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, see Fort Bend County Libraries’ website (www.fortbend.lib.tx.us) or call the University Branch Library (281-633-5100).
