Many many thanks to all those who donated gifts and other goodies during the Holiday season!
Thanks to you, we are very well loaded on school supplies, but we are now low on art supplies. Things we could use include:
--Water based paints, we are almost always low on these. Liter size bottles are best, but we'll take whatever you can fit in your suitcase!
--Glitter, sequins, any of that shiny stuff that can be glued onto art projects
--Feathers, beads, pendants, fake flowers, stickers, all that good stuff
--Foam craft sheets in various colors
--Refills for glue guns (the sticks)
Art supplies that we don't need at the moment include: watercolors, crayons, colored pencils or markers, we have plenty!
We are also in need of gently used clothing for our fundraising clothing bazaars. Things that sell well are light-to-medium weight clothing for babies, children, teens and small adults sizes (XS, S or M-- anything larger is generally too big for locals). Think summer or spring clothes. Sneakers, sandals, & flip-flops are also popular items. Please don't feel the need to go out and buy new clothes, pick stuff up at your local thrift store if you must, or canvas your neighbors for their used clothes-- help recycle clothing and help Hekab Be!

Clothing
As always, we welcome donations of gently used clothing, scroll down for a list of suggested items. We sell these clothes at minimal cost to local families to raise funds for library operations.
Our most popular item is clothing for kids. Small or medium adult sizes also sell well. Anything XL or larger is simply too big for the locals who come to the bazaars.
Other items we sell well:
--anything for infants or youth sizes, or small adult sizes, LIGHTWEIGHT clothing, such as: shorts, t-shirts, skorts, bathing suits, camis, tank tops, flip-flops, sneakers, b-ball caps, sun hats, umbrellas, any trendy clothes - Old Navy, Children's Place, Circo, Gap... Light SHORT skirts - long ones are too long for locals.
