Need wrapping paper or a label? We’ll have some extra available, first come-first served.
How does the swap work? For every book you drop off, you will receive a raffle ticket. At 3 pm we’ll start pulling raffle tickets so the swap can begin. When your ticket is called you can pick out your book.
Can you bring more than one book? Absolutely! You get one ticket for every book you drop off.
