Crafters Supplies Give and Take
Back by popular demand! Please check the events calendar for this year’s dates. All proceeds from the event will be used to support programs, like the new sensory room for the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library.
Donations and Shopping
This is a wonderful opportunity to recycle and donate extra supplies which will be loved by the next owner.
What items do you accept?
We accept any and ALMOST all types of craft supplies, examples include fabric, yarn, hooks, needles, craft paint, etc (please review THE LIST OF ITEMS WE CANNOT ACCEPT). The requirement is that they need to be in clean and usable condition. If you’re not sure if your crafting supply item is accepted, email inquiries and photos to folcrafterssuppliesgandt@
Do I have to donate supplies to shop?
No. You do not have to donate supplies to shop.
How does “shopping” at this event work?
Browse through all the donated craft supplies, pick out your treasures, and make a monetary donation to the Friends of the Library. We accept both cash and check donations. This is a “free will” donation.
What is “free will” donation?
A “free will” donation is when you make a donation that you think is fair for the items that you are taking; WE ACCEPT CASH, CHECKS, AND VENMO.

things there are well.
