Silent Book Club Summer Solstice Book Swap
Details
Happy Summer Solstice, Silent Book Club! 🌻
Every June, in celebration of the solstice, we host a book swap as an add-on activity to our regular silent reading party!
Bring not only a book to read as usual, but also any books to donate — new, used, and well-loved books are welcome! We'll describe the mechanics of the book swap at the event, but essentially we make it a game following two major principles: 🎲 ♦️
- Choice: You get to pick which book(s) you want to swap your donation(s) with.
- Advantage: The more books you bring to donate, the earlier you'll get to choose which books YOU take home from the shared collection.
While donated books are being organized, settle into a peaceful and cozy space to read with fellow book lovers.
