Mayor DeMaria Announces the Great Everett Jewelry Exchange

An opportunity to trade in old and unwanted jewelry for new treasures

Special to The Advocate

Mayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce the return of the Great Everett Jewelry Exchange hosted by the Everett Public Libraries.

This program is an opportunity for participants to trade-in old and unwanted jewelry for new treasures and possibly find a gift for themselves or a loved one at the same time. “We love making beautiful things available to people who will love them,” says Adult Services Librarian Kathleen Slipp.

To participate in the trade, bring old and unwanted jewelry to the Parlin Memorial Library or the Shute Memorial Library throughout the month of April to receive a ticket for every two pieces donated. Bring those tickets to the Parlin Memorial Library on Saturday, April 26, to trade them in for new pieces. Doors open at 11 a.m. for ticket holders.

If a guest doesn’t have any old or unwanted jewelry to get rid of and would just like to participate, the doors will open at 12 p.m. for all guests to purchase jewelry at $1.00 per piece. For more information, please reach out to Kathleen Slipp at Sl***@******et.org or call 617-394-2300.
