Full Moon Swap

Join us for our Full Moon Swaps at the Canmore Public Library!

Our next swap will be the Clothing Swap-O-Rama being held April 12-14!

Full Moon Swaps will return in May.

Our Full Moon Swaps will be held monthly, on or around the full moon. Each swap will have a theme connected to the name of the full moon that month, for example the Flower Moon or the Wolf Moon. We encourage community members to bring gently used items they no longer need or want to the CPL the day of the swap as a donation. Items will be displayed on tables and are available for anyone to take home with them, so please be sure the items you bring are items you are prepared to give away. Everything is FREE and everyone is welcome! You do not need to donate items in order to attend or take items home. 

We hope these swaps will encourage community connection and help keep usable items from piling up in a landfill! Any items leftover at the end of the swap will be donated to a charity of our choice.   See you then!

 Upcoming Swaps:

March - No Full Moon Swap, visit us for the Friends Spring Book Sale!

Previous Swaps:

Join us for the Hunger Moon Swap at the Canmore Public Library!

The February full moon is also known as the Hunger Moon. With February typically bringing the most snow, it made hunting difficult and food could be hard to come by.

With that in mind, our February Full Moon Swap is a community swap for all things food, kitchen, and pantry related!

This is the perfect time to clean out your pantry and pass along any non-perishable food items that have just been collecting dust! Perhaps you have kettles, coffee pots, or baking sheets & cooking pans you no longer use or need.

Unwanted cookbooks, small appliances, bamboo skewers, can openers, aprons, kitchen gadgets that have lost their lustre - all this and more are perfect for the Hunger Moon Swap! (Please no large appliances, BBQ's, or expired food items).

Winter clothing will also be accepted at this month's Full Moon Swap!

We've added extra hours! The February Full Moon Swap will take place in the Friends of the Library Program Room on Friday, February 23rd from 5:00 - 7:00pm, and will continue on Saturday, February 24th from 10am - 2pm. If you have items to donate, they can be brought to the Library during the swap hours on Friday and Saturday!

The January full moon is also known as the Wolf Moon. With that in mind, our January Full Moon Swap is a community swap for pets and their people! (You do not need to have a pet to attend the swap!)

For the pets...

Is your cat tired of all their toys? Has your dog outgrown their collar, coat, or crate? Perhaps you have unused pet beds, pet boots, food bowls, or leashes lying around. Bring them to the Wolf Moon Swap!  (Alternatively, if you need those items - come to the Wolf Moon Swap!)

For the people...

Let's keep getting winter ready with another community swap of winter items! This could include winter gear like jackets, snow pants, gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, and boots.

Perhaps you have snow sport gear your no longer need like skates, sleds, skis etc.

Other winter items could include mugs for hot cocoa, car scrapers, shovels, heaters, hand warmers and more!

The swap will take place in the Friends of the Library Program Room at the CPL on Saturday, January 27th from 10am - 2pm.
