Family Friendly Book Fair and Swap!

Schedule

Sun May 31 2026 at 01:00 pm to 02:30 pm

UTC-04:00

Location

Yards Brewing Company | Philadelphia, PA

Books and Brews Philly is teaming up with Fingerprint Bookshop and Midsummer Books for an epic family friendly book fair and swap! We will also be joined by YA author Brittney Morris, author of Slay! Bring a gently used book (s) to swap, grab a beverage and shop kids and adult books, gifts and merch from Fingerprint and Midsummer! Kids 14 and under swap for free!


Here's how the swap works:

*Bring a book or books (up to 10 per person).

*We cannot take reference books, textbooks, travel guides or books that are dirty, damaged, excessively yellowed, written in, water logged, etc. Please consider bringing a recent/relevant book that you have enjoyed and would love to share, rather than an old unwanted item. Think about the kind of books you would be excited to see on the swap table!

*Check in with the host

*Lay your books out on the designated tables

*Browse the books and grab up to four new (to you) books to take home

*Grab a drink, mingle and have fun!

*We will also have Blind Date With a Book books for sale. Take a chance on a book that sounds intriguing!

*Leftover books get donated or circulated back into future book swaps.
