NYABC Book Swap & Meet

Part book swap. Part social meetup. Part bookish brunch.

We've all got books on our shelves that we've already read, books we loved but are ready to pass along, or books we've been meaning to donate for months. So instead of letting them gather dust, why not trade them for new reads and meet some fellow book lovers while you're at it?

Join us for our Book Swap & Meet, a bookish twist on the classic swap meet where hundreds of books will be waiting to find new homes—and where your next favorite read (or your next book bestie) might be just around the corner.

Here's how it works:

📖 Bring up to 10 gently used books

💸 Receive NYABC Book Bucks for every approved book you bring

✨ Bring special editions and earn Golden Tickets for access to our exclusive special edition section

📚 Donate children's books to our book drive and earn raffle entries

🤝 Meet fellow readers through our optional Book Bestie Bingo game

🎨 Make friendship bracelets and enjoy bookish crafts

🛍 Shop local bookish vendors

☕ Enjoy brunch, coffee, cocktails, and treats available for purchase from The Duce

While you mingle, craft, eat, shop, and make new friends, our team will be busy setting up all of the books swap-meet style.

Then at 12:30 PM, the swap officially opens.

Browse the tables, hunt for hidden gems, claim your new reads, and use your Book Bucks to check out your book haul.

Whether you're a romance reader, fantasy fanatic, thriller lover, literary fiction enthusiast, or simply someone looking for a fun Sunday surrounded by fellow bookworms, this event is for you.

Bring books. Swap books. Meet readers.

It's a Book Swap & Meet, after all. 😉📚
