Your next great read doesn’t have to cost anything.
Kindred Vancouver is hosting a free three-day Book Swap September 11–13, where you can drop off books you’re finished with and take home new-to-you titles from other readers.
Best of all, you do not need to bring a book to take a book.
It’s an easy way to refresh your bookshelf for free while keeping perfectly good books in circulation.
Free Book Swap at Kindred Vancouver
Bring clean, gently used books to Kindred Vancouver during the Book Swap and browse what other community members have contributed.
You’re welcome to take home as many new-to-you books as you’d like, and no one-to-one trade is required.
Don’t have anything to donate? That’s okay. You can still stop by and browse the selection.
The free Book Swap takes place:
Friday, September 11–Sunday, September 13
10 a.m.–4 p.m.
Admission is free.
More Free Swaps at Kindred
Kindred Vancouver regularly hosts free community swaps centered around everything from books and art supplies to plants, tools and reusable household goods.
The events give neighbors a chance to pass along things they don’t need and pick up useful items without buying something new.
Kindred is also a locally owned low-waste bulk refillery offering household and personal care refills, reusable goods and community events.
If you’ve attended one of Kindred’s swaps in the past, take note: the shop is now at a different location than the address listed in older Portland Living on the Cheap articles.
Kindred Vancouver is now at:
2213 Main St.
Vancouver, WA
