Purcell Library - Needs Chip Bags
Your hometown Purcell Public Library is in need of assistance. On February 23, we are doing a wonderful recycling craft event - but we don't have enough supplies!
We are in need of clean empty potato chip bags. They can be large or snack-size, baked or fried, fruit or veggie - we aren't picky - as long as they are clean of chips and trash.
If you find you are in possession of an empty chip bag please drop it off at the Purcell Public Library by February 22, and then be sure to register to participate for this great recycling craft project.
Thanks!
