Community Swaps provide a space for people to meet and greet each other, give away items they no longer need, acquire those that they do and participate in sustainable living through reducing and reusing. Swapping decreases waste, provides cost-free access to goods and contributes to equity, self-sufficiency and resilience. Each swap has a theme. Bring things to trade, exchange your items with those of others, and participate in the circular economy.
Next Up: Kitchen Utensils & Gadgets on Saturday, 2/25 from 11 am to 1 pm
Join us for a Community Swap in the Central Library 1st floor Demo Area and on the library's east grounds near Shoal Creek.

Index cards will be provided to swap recipes. For more information or to reserve a table for your swap items, please email us at Ask a Librarian.
