Book Swap Socials
About this Event
Join Femme Circle at the Common Press Dalston for an afternoon celebrating black books, storytelling and meaningful connection.
Honouring the International Day for People of African Descent, Book Swap Social brings women together through literature from Africa, the Caribbean and the wider Black diaspora.
Bring one book by a Black author that has stayed with you, discover a new one, meet thoughtful women and take part in conversations.
Whether you’re an avid reader or simply curious, you’ll leave with more than a new book - you’ll leave with new ideas, conversations and community.

Who is this for?
Women who love books, culture, thoughtful conversations and meaningful connection.
Whether you’re a reader, creative, founder, professional or simply looking to meet new women in a warm community space, you’re welcome.
