Book Lovers: Don’t Miss This Free Earth Month Event

Looking to refresh your bookshelf without spending a dime? In honor of World Book Day and Earth Month, Sangertown Square is inviting book lovers to give old stories a new life at its Sustainable Book Swap, happening Wednesday, April 23 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Center Court.

The event is free and family-friendly. Those attending can bring gently used books and exchange them for “new-to-you” reads, an eco-friendly way to celebrate the joy of reading while reducing waste.

Swap Books, Save the Planet

Organizers say the book swap helps minimize landfill waste, promote literacy, and support the idea that stories deserve second chances.

Whether you’re a parent with outgrown children’s books, a student looking to swap out paperbacks, or a lifelong reader with an overflowing shelf, this is your chance to declutter and discover something new.
