The Montauk Library is preparing for its first-ever teen clothing swap, in which high school students "can exchange gently used clothing with each other, engaging in more sustainable fashion practices."

Donations are being accepted on Fridays through April 21, and the swap will take place on April 22 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Teens who volunteer to help sort and work the clothing swap will receive community service hours toward high school graduation requirements. Leftover clothing will be donated to the Retreat, East Hampton's domestic violence shelter.
