    Clean out your crafting stockpile and drop off your unused new or partially used supplies at the Chanhassen Library during regular library hours May 9-14 and receive a free pass for early entrance to the first Craft Supplies Swap Pick-up Day on Saturday, May 16.

    All are welcome at the TWO Swap Pick-up Days, May 16 and 17, whether you donated supplies or not, so that unneeded/unused supplies don’t end up in a landfill.
