Students, staff and faculty had the opportunity to donate items for the Swap Shop earlier this week on Monday and Tuesday. But ‘shopping’ won’t start until Thursday. The shop will be open on Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. People don’t need to donate in order to grab items.
