Join us for our first Summer Book Swap — a relaxed evening to trade favorite summer reads, make something creative, and connect with other book and creativity lovers in the community.
Bring a book you loved this summer (or one you’re ready to pass along) and leave with a new read for late summer days, cozy evenings, or your next creative reset. We’ll also have a collage bookmark-making station set up so you can create a handmade bookmark to take home with your new book. Think of it as part book swap, part creative hang, part community gathering.
📚 How it works
Bring 1–3 gently loved books to swap
We’ll give you a small card to handwrite why you’re recommending your book so the next reader gets a little personal note with it. You’ll exchange books with others during the event and create your own collage bookmark at our making station.
Any leftover books at the end of the evening will be added to the little free libraries around Beacon.

Collage bookmark-making station (all materials provided)
