Give your unused art supplies a second life and discover new creative treasures at the Terrebonne Parish Library's Free Art and School Supply Swap on Saturday, July 18, from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the Main Library Large Meeting Room.

This community-driven event encourages creativity, sustainability, and sharing by helping artists, crafters, students, teachers, and families exchange supplies they no longer need for materials they can put to good use.

During designated Donation Days from July 1 through July 17, community members are invited to bring new or gently used art and school supplies to the Main Library. Those who donate will receive a special Early Bird Ticket, granting access to the swap from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.—a full 30 minutes before general admission begins.

"We're excited to offer a fun and environmentally friendly way for community members to share resources, reduce waste, and inspire creativity," said Mary Cosper LeBoeuf, Director of the Terrebonne Parish Library System. "Whether you're a student preparing for the school year, an artist looking for fresh materials, or a crafter eager to try something new, this event has something for everyone."

Accepted donations include a wide variety of reusable arts and crafts materials such as:

• Sewing materials, fabric, thread, and needles

• Yarn, crochet hooks, knitting needles, and related supplies

• Paintbrushes, paint tubes, and paint bottles

• Canvases, sketchbooks, and drawing pads

• Beads, stringing materials, and jewelry-making supplies

• Paper, cardstock, and scrapbooking materials

• Stickers, stamps, and stencils

• Frames, easels, and art project kits

• Pom-poms, pipe cleaners, glitter, and other craft supplies

To ensure all items are safe and useful for participants, the library cannot accept broken or dried-out materials, electric equipment, lumber or loose boards, in-progress artwork, solvents, or large quantities of paint.

All donated items must be clean, reusable, and small enough to fit in a personal vehicle.

The Art and School Supply Swap is free and open to the public. Supplies will be available on a first-come, first-served basis while quantities last.
