This is a FREE Event and all are welcome. Bring up to five pieces of clean adult clothing (in good repair) to the library, between 11am and 5pm and swap then for a voucher for the same number of pieces.

The EU has a Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles to create a greener textiles sector. The aim is a major shift inside the industry and among consumers, creating a whole new sustainable ecosystem for textiles by the end of this decade.
