Grab your pre-loved favorite (or not-so-favorite) books and bring them to the swap!
Books can be dropped off between 3 pm and 6:00 pm with the official swap starting at 6:15 pm in the b**r garden. (Of course, if the weather is uncooperative we will move indoors. ) We will have a few activities while you wait or you can always grab one of our board games and a beverage.

For each book you bring you will receive a ticket to use during the swap. Book selection order is by random draw. When your ticket is called it will be your turn to pick out a book.
Need wrapping paper or a label? We'll have some extra available, but only on a first come-first served. (And it is probably-definitely-Christmas paper.
