How The Book Swap Works
Our book swaps are all about the cozy, casual vibes. They're designed to feel like a social event where you just happen to be surrounded by books. Here's how it works:
Wrap 1-2 books in the romance genre or with a strong romantic sub-plot, write a few hints on top, and bring to exchange with the community! ONLY bring books in good condition (something you’d feel good lending to a friend).
2. When you arrive, drop your books at the swap table (look for signage!), then grab a drink, browse, and start picking your next read.
3. To keep it fair, please take home the same number of books you brought. In the last hour, we’ll open it up to grab extras from what’s left.
Note: Most books* left over after the event get distributed to little free libraries around the area.
Shop the Pop-Up
While you’re there, explore our curated collection of new and used books, “Blind Date with a Book” surprises, and bookish merch.
