The Next Chapter: An Earth Month Book Swap In-Person
Old Stories, New Readers
Celebrate Earth Month by giving books a second life and finding your next great read. Dress as a favorite character for extra fun!
We’ll begin with a starter collection of books, then invite the community to keep the stories moving. Bring up to 5 gently read books and swap them for up to 5 new-to-you titles. Books will be thoughtfully arranged on tables by age range.
In the spirit of Earth Month, this event is all about reading thoughtfully, reusing what we love, and repeating the joy of sharing stories- read, reread, repeat.
