Chai & Chapters Book Swap

Join us for the inaugural Chai & Chapters, a monthly book swap where local authors host conversations about the books that shaped them, inspire them, and stay on their shelves.

“Dosti” means friendship, and that’s exactly what we’re building—a community of readers and writers gathering over chai to share stories, swap books, and connect over our love of the written word.

How It Works:

• Bring 1-2 books in good condition that you’re ready to pass along

• Take home books that catch your eye (equal swap)

• Enjoy chai and conversation

• Hear from our featured author about the books that influenced their journey

This Month’s Featured Author:

Elyse Robbins, author of “Beyond the T-Shirt: A Journey from Labels to Liberation,” will share the books that shaped her path as a writer and neurodivergent advocate.

What to Expect:

6:00 - 6:30 PM: Arrive, order chai, browse the swap table

6:30 - 6:50 PM: Featured author conversation

6:50 - 8:00 PM: Book swap, mingling, and connection

What to Bring:

• 1-2 books you’d love to swap (fiction, nonfiction, any genre welcome!)

• An open mind and curiosity about what others are reading

• Chai and snacks available for purchase

Parking: Parking lot located behind the building. Metered until 7:00 PM.

This is a free event. Space is limited to create an intimate atmosphere—please RSVP so we can plan accordingly!
