Community Free Store at Shoreline Library Oct 21

WHEN:
October 21, Sunday, from 12:30 to 3:30

WHERE:
NE 175th and 5th Ave NE

WHAT: 
"Free" store. It is not mandatory to bring anything, although the more items that are brought in, the more there will be for everyone to find something they would like. Items are simply put on the tables or against the walls and it's a free-for-all. Kind expressions of giving over something you have that might be greatly appreciated by someone else.
 This is also about considering those less fortunate.

Library patrons who knew nothing about this will be welcomed!

STIPULATIONS:
You do not have to bring anything. If you're on hard times -- and many people are, you can simply take whatever items you need/want.

WHAT TO BRING: 
Bring clothes, shoes, purses, jewelry, G-rated packaged hygiene items, trinkets, material, material scraps and sewing notions, toys, books, VHS, DVDs, CD, linens, dishes, tools, kitchen items, misc. school/office supplies, etc.

Do not bring big appliances, computer monitors/keyboards, or furniture.

Do not bring small appliances unless they work. 
 It is not the intent of the Free Store for people to just unload their junk.

Halloween and the Holidays are coming up -- the goldmine time of year for retail to get our money or for us to go even deeper into credit card debt -- so this would be a great time for people to unload their decent unwanted Halloween and Xmas items for others to use and re-gift.

Consider bringing your own bags and boxes in case there are not enough to accommodate everyone.

The organizer is taking responsibility for any leftover items, but has limited car space, so please take back your items that are not picked up by anyone.

Thanks, and hope to see you at the Free Store in October!
