Event Details

Free Bubbly. Swapping Books. Sharing Knowledge & Culture.

Our community book swap event returns to Town! Whether you are a book lover, a busy reader, a fan of fiction or nonfiction, someone just starting your “Avid Reader Era,” or someone who just wants to pass on meaningful information to the community, we want to invite you to join us.

Putting knowledge and culture into community circulation is a form of community care.

It’s simple. There’s no lectures, no nametags, no icebreakers… Just make the space how you want it to be. Bring a friend, meet new folks, or vibe on your own.

Here’s how it works:

 

 

  1. Walk in, and grab a BOSS Idea House drink token.
  2. Get your free bubbly at the bar.
  3. Place your book on the table (something fun or meaningful) as a gift to community.
  4. Browse the table, and take a book home with you.
  5. Start reading your new book. Or talk books, genres, and topics with others there. Or just sit on your own and enjoy the free drink and new book.

 

That’s it. Low lift, high reward.

What’s a book doing otherwise? Collecting dust? Share it with community, and practice a deep, meaningful act of community care. 

See you there, family!
