Get a jump start on spring cleaning and donate your unwanted art supplies!
Do you have art materials and tools that you no longer want to use, but are still usable? Are you looking for more materials you do need, hoping to try out a new medium or style, or would just love an opportunity to get some free supplies? Then come to the first Upper Darby Township and Sellers Memorial Free Public Library Art Supply Exchange! At this event, you can bring art supplies you no longer want (but are still in working condition) so that others who may be interested in them can have them for free, and pick up a few new free supplies yourself from what others have brought.

The event will take place on Saturday, March 22 (with a snow date of March 29) at the Sellers Memorial Branch (76 S State Rd, GPS 1 Maple Ave).
Drop off of supplies will open at 12 pm and end at 2 pm, and the “shopping” period for supplies will last from 1 pm to 3 pm.
