Book & Puzzle Swap!
Join us for a free community book and puzzle swap! Bring gently used books and puzzles from your collection and exchange them for others you'll love. We're keeping it intimate with just 25 spots, so registration is required.
How it works: Each book or puzzle you bring earns you one swap ticket. Pristine condition hardcovers are worth 2 tickets. Larger puzzles (500+ pieces) are worth 2 tickets. Trade your tickets for books and puzzles from our collective collection—first come, first served. You're welcome to bring up to 5 items total and take home up to 5 items (or swap fewer, totally fine).
Book guidelines: We're accepting fiction, poetry, nonfiction, hobbies & interests, cooking, graphic novels.
Puzzle guidelines: All puzzles must be complete with all pieces accounted for. Puzzles should be in good condition with intact boxes or storage containers. We're accepting all difficulty levels and piece counts—kids puzzles, 3D puzzles, challenging adult puzzles, you name it.
What we're not accepting: Kids books, foreign language textbooks, religious books, heavily damaged books or puzzles, or books with extensive markings. Puzzles missing pieces or with damaged boxes.
Books and puzzles should be in good condition—no water damage, torn pages, missing covers, or bent boxes.
Leftover items: If you bring items and don't find anything to swap for, you're welcome to take your items back home. Any books or puzzles left unclaimed at the end of the event will be donated a local community organization.
The vibe: This is a judgment-free zone. Swap at your own pace, chat with other book and puzzle lovers, and find your next read or brain teaser.
Details: Sunday, February 8 | Arrive by 10:30am, swap starts at 11:00am | Book People, 1640 Queen Street West
