Calling all young entrepreneurs! Sell your stuff, your crafts, your collections at the Scranton Library to earn some extra holiday money. You can sell (almost) anything you'd like- from your old stuffed animals to your Pokemon cards to your friendship bracelets. Part of a club and need to fundraise? This is the perfect opportunity to make money for the rest of the school year. 

One sign up per seller (whether that's a club, a kid, or a pair of siblings/group of friends). Space is limited. Sign up is currently open to Madison residents only. You must have a library card to register, or come to the library to get a library card within a week of registration. Please leave a description of what you will be selling in the comments section of the registration form. The library reserves the right to approve or deny registrations: all applicants will be notified of their application status via email. All goods being sold must be priced at $5 dollars or under.
