Here's how it works:
The goal of this swap is to provide an eco-friendlier way to "shop" outside of fast fashion. Bring gently used, quality clothing to exchange the items you no longer wear for new-to-you pieces that will bring new life to your cold weather wardrobe.

To participate, bring your clean, gently used clothes, accessories, and shoes to the circulation desk on the main floor. Donations are limited to up to
10 items per person. All items are subject to inspection - we will begin accepting items on Saturday, October 12. On the night of the event, prepare to “shop!” No donation is required to receive clothing at the swap, and you can donate items if you can't or don't want to attend the event!

The mission of The Great Give Back is to provide a day of opportunities for the patrons of the Public Libraries of New York State to participate in meaningful, service-oriented experiences. We believe that this event will help to fulfill this goal by encouraging community connection and helping to keep usable items from piling up in a landfill! Any leftover items at the end of the swap will be donated to a charity of our choice.

This swap is for teens and adults of all genders!

We will not accept:

• Spring and Summer weather clothing

• T-shirts (old, frayed college tee, the random event tee, etc.)

• Undergarments, socks, or swimwear

• Items with rips, stains, heavy fading, or odors

• Children's clothing

• Jewelry
   

*If the item is purposely distressed, it is permitted. Ex: jeans with distressing.
