NOW through Wednesday, August 13th, 2025
We’re getting a head start on collecting school supplies for our giveaway this year!
While students can come to the library for free access to books, they need their own school supplies to excel in the classroom. With the support of our community, last year the library provided supplies to 210 students, and we expect an even higher local need this year.
To try and meet that need as much as we can, we are seeking donations of the following items:
- backpacks (sturdy and for all sizes/ages of students, K-12th grade)
- pencils (boxes of 24)
- pencil boxes/pouches
- erasers (white or pink)
- crayons (boxes of 24)
- colored pencils (boxes of 12)
- Crayola Classics markers (boxes of 10)
- blue or black ballpoint pens
- glue sticks
- primary composition notebooks (wide-ruled)
- plastic folders with 2 pockets
- 100-page spiral bound notebooks (wide-ruled AND college-ruled)
- college-ruled filler notebook paper
- 2” binders
- tabbed dividers (with at least 7 tabs)
- plastic pocket dividers
- kid scissors (blunt and pointed)
Order them from our Amazon wish list to be sent directly to the library, or buy them from your retailer of choice and drop them off at the library in our collection bin any time during open hours.
Because our storage space and staff capacity are limited, please stick to only items from our list, and only new materials. THANK YOU!
This year’s giveaway event will take place here in the library on Sunday, August 17th, 2025, from 10am-2pm.
