Event Details

Refresh your wardrobe while helping the planet! Join us for our Community Clothing Swap—an easy, affordable way to try new styles, give clothing a second life, and reduce waste. Donate clean, gently used clothing and swap it for something new-to-you.

Every year, people in the United States throw out more than 34 billion pounds of used textiles. Divided across the population, that’s more than 100 pounds of textile waste per person each year. Of those, 66% end up in landfills. Help the environment, clean out your closet, and build community with a day of free swapping at the Library!

Donation Drop-Off
Monday, March 16 – Thursday, March 19

Please bring bagged donations to the Children’s Room. All items must be clean and in good condition. We encourage donors to follow the “friend rule”: if you wouldn’t give it to a friend, please don’t donate it! Any leftover items will be distributed to local organizations after the swap ends.

Participation Guidelines
  • Donate in advance: Receive a ticket for entry starting at 9:30 AM
  • Donate on the day of the event: Entry and shopping begin at 10:30 AM
  • No donation: Shopping begins at 11:30 AM

This event is part of the library’s Sustainable Library Initiative, which promotes environmental responsibility through sharing, reuse, and community connection. By swapping instead of shopping, we can keep textiles out of landfills and support a more sustainable future together.
