Book Swap

Book Swap

Join us for a mid-summer book swap! It's part way through summer, and maybe you've checked some books off your summer reading list. Maybe you need some new reading inspiration. So, we bring you: The Mid-Summer Book Swap!

Bring a few books you're ready to pass on to someone else, and/or be ready to browse books that others are done with! Once everyone is done picking out books, we'll keep a small selection to start a reading library at Ponderosa, something ya'll have been asking us to do for quite a while! Any remaining books will be donated to @bellinghamlibrary. This event is open to everyone, regardless of whether you usually attend Silent Book Club. The more books and readers, the better!
