🎒📚 Back-to-School Swap at Atkins Memorial Library! 📚🎒
Getting ready for a new school year can be expensive, so we’re bringing the community together for a Back-to-School Swap! This is a chance to pass along gently used items your family no longer needs and find things that will help someone else start the school year prepared.
Bring items you no longer need and take home items that are useful for your family — no buying, no selling, just neighbors helping neighbors! 💙
We’re hoping to have a variety of items available, including:
👕 Clothing for kids, teens, and adults
👟 Shoes
🧥 Jackets and coats
🎒 Backpacks
🥪 Lunch boxes
✏️ School supplies
…and more!
To help everyone know what to expect, we’d love for people who plan to participate to comment below with what they’re bringing! Let us know:
✨ What types of items you’ll have
✨ Sizes or ages (if applicable)
✨ Anything special someone might be excited to find
Examples:
“Girls’ clothing sizes 6–8”
“Teen hoodies and jeans”
“Elementary backpacks”
“School supplies”
Whether you’re bringing a few things or a whole trunk full, every contribution helps make this a great community event. We can’t wait to see everyone swap, share, and get ready for a new school year! 🎒✨
Please only bring items that are clean and in good, usable condition. Any items you bring that are not taken during the swap will need to go back home with you at the end of the event. This helps us keep the event organized and ensures the library can continue offering community programs like this. 💙
