Come adopt our books, exchange your pre-loved reads, and enjoy some snacks while you're at it. Here's what to expect!
Book Adoption Drive
Browse library books available for adoption and bring them home for free!
Book Exchange Fair
Bring your own books and swap your pre-loved books for a new read with other like-minded book lovers. Be ready to pitch your story to the crowd.
Too shy? No worries. You can opt to share your story in a more private setting. Let your book speak for itself, and you might just find the perfect new reader to swap your book with!
Additional notes:
📖 Bring no more than 3 books, both fiction or non-fiction are welcomed. No magazines, DVDs, workbooks, etc.
📖 Please bring only books in good condition.
📖 As this is a book exchange and not a donation drive, please plan to bring back any books you brought that are not exchanged during the event.
📖 Unexchanged books will not be incorporated into our library collection. Any books left behind after the event will be handled at our discretion.
Please bring your own bag and your best book trade-ins!
This event is open to the public.
