Book Swap

Join artist, creative entrepreneur, and Winston-Salem native Ashley Johnson for a community book swap!

How does the book swap work?

Bring up to 3 books you'd like to give away!
Bring ephemera (optional): If you have little bits, tickets, receipts, scraps, cards, ribbon, fabric, etc., that would make a sweet bookmark, come put them in the pile, and take some for yourself.
Place your books in their respective genre sections.
Take your time wandering through genres and reads. Chat people up if you'd like.
We're leaning on the honor system! Be mindful of other swappers! At the end of the event, take as much as you'd like!
To see what sort of books are welcome and for more details, see below!

WHAT TO BRING

# of Books: No more than 3 books.
Ephemera (optional): I use everything under the sun as bookmarks, from movie tickets to extra copies of my passport photo, haha. If you have little bobs, cards, bits, scraps, a recipe card, ribbon, or string that mean something to you, bring them to put in our bookmark pile.
Mindfulness: Please be mindful of the volume you take home. Toward the end of the event, when we have excess, please take all you want!
Knowledge of your genres! Come in ready to sort your book into the genre tables yourself. Not sure of your genre when you arrive? We can help!
Books you want other people to care about: This event is neither a book sale nor a donation bank and exists in the spirit of friendship and community. If we all bring books we care about, the quality of the swap is more exciting!
