UTC-04:00

Location

Love City Brewing | Philadelphia, PA

Books and Brews Philly and A Novel Idea are teaming up to bring you a book lover's dream event...a Grown Up Book Fair and Swap! Bring a gently used book (or books) to swap, sip on a beverage and shop new books, gifts and merch from ANI! Can't wait to see you there!


We will also be supporting Treehouse Books with book donations. Please consider bringing a new or gently used children's book to donate!


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.
