🚨UPDATE🚨NEW SWAP LOCATION🚨
Due to some unforeseen road closures on Cotton Street, the swap will be relocating to The Good Daze on 111 Art Alley in Monroe!
📚📚It’s that time of year again!!! 📚📚
Black Bear Books Biannual Book Swap!
We are so excited to announce that our friends will be providing sticky pork bowls 🤤 (included with admission).
We’re also excited to welcome back our pals . They will have coffee and mini charcuterie plates for sale (can be purchased separately).
ALSO! Our pal will be set up at the swap selling some amazing vinyls!
It’s going to be a very similar set-up as previous swaps.
Here are the details:
First off... entry to the events is $8, which includes TWO book swap tickets and a stickie pork bowl from The Silver Spoon.
Don’t worry, you can buy more if you want to... and you will want to!
*Coffee and charcuterie will be paid for individually at the coffee cart*
Secondly... there are some requirements to the books we will accept for swaps. We want to make sure everyone leaves with books that have been as well-loved as the ones they brought with them.
Read below to get the in-depth details.
SWAP RULES
1. Bring books you would like to swap to The Good Daze on Saturday, April 25th between 5-8 pm.
2. Books can be any genre and for any age group. Do not try to swap books that have missing or torn pages, water damage, or highlighting/underlining.
3. Pay your $8 entry fee and bring your books to the Swap Table to receive your Swap Tickets. One book equals one Swap Ticket.
4. Shop the Book Swap and “check out” your new books at the Swap Table before you leave. Each book “costs” one Swap Ticket, so however many you bring is how many you take home!
5. We will also have new and used books available for purchase like our normal pop-ups.
So comb through your “done has read” pile to make room for new arrivals into your “to be read” one! 📚📚
