Students often struggle to find affordable materials

Textbooks and calculators can be out of reach. Meanwhile shelves are full of items that could help the next learner.

Most supplies still have years of useful life

Notebooks, rulers, compasses, and binders sit unused. Recirculating them saves money and keeps waste down.

One-for-one swaps keep it fair and free

Ask for what you need and offer something in return. Volunteers verify condition and coordinate a safe exchange.

Mission

Accessibility, sustainability, community. We keep good materials in circulation to lower costs and reduce waste. Every swap is a small win for the next student.
