WOODS HOLE PUBLIC LIBRARY (WHPL)
The library volunteers will hold their eagerly awaited “Fabric & Fiber” sale on Sunday, February 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. People come from far and wide, first to donate and later to buy fabric, yarn, notions, and much more. This one-day event is a major source of fundraising for the library’s operating budget, and the generosity of both donors and shoppers is crucial to its success. Donations for the sale have been pouring in since the beginning of January. Among this year’s treasures are a large collection of trimmings for upholstery projects, many sewing machines, tabletop looms, rug hooking materials, quilting and knitting books, vintage textiles, luxury yarns, and much more. As usual, there is an abundance of quilting cotton, decorator fabrics, and fleece in all colors and patterns. Along with notions, knitting needles, and a veritable rainbow of workhorse acrylic yarns, there is truly something to delight every crafter. Many volunteer hours go into making this sale a well-organized, fun, community shopping experience. The library is happy to offer this sale both as an important source of fundraising and as a way to further its mission of sharing community resources. For more information, please visit woodsholepubliclibrary.org or call (508) 548-8961. Please note that free parking for this event is available just down the street from the library in WHOI’s Challenger Lot.
