Over the course of March and into April 2021, as the Madison County FCS agent I have conducted a book swap for homemakers and other clientele to drop off gently used or unwanted cookbooks, crafting books, as well as chapter books.  The items donated were left to rest for 14 days for sanitary reasons under COVID protocol and then were put out for public viewing in the project room, for those interested to come back in and "shop" through the donations.  Homemakers and clientele were welcome to come browse the inventory to help assist them in discovering new recipes, explore dietary change options, initiate or create new interests or enhance crafting skills or hobby interests, as well as share new literature in a healthy and resourceful manner.  The goal for this program is to emphasize resource management in which we can help homemaker members and clientele find new affordable ways to enhance their cooking or crafting interests as well as share discarded items that can be a better benefit to someone else.  Over the course of the three different book swaps, we have served 30 people, and exchanged over 50 books of various disciplines or topics. Books that are left over from the donation and swap are to be donated to groups with an identified need, as well as held over to enhance the selection for future book swaps tentatively planned for the fall of 2021.
