Bring any gently loved books you're ready to pass along and browse for your next favorite read from fellow community members. We'll have tables organized by genre (similar to our clothing swap) to make exploring easy, whether you're hunting for fantasy, romance, nonfiction, graphic novels, or something completely unexpected.Found a stack you can't resist? Take it home! We encourage everyone to adopt as many books as they'll genuinely enjoy to help give every title a new life.Donation-based tickets help support the HMU Loft and the team that makes these community gatherings possible. Any books left at the end of the evening won't go to waste—they'll be donated to mutual aid efforts through Little Free Libraries across Astoria or the Astoria Rolling Library, helping stories continue to find new readers.For our vetted & private members, the evening will naturally roll into our cozy Game & Craft Night, making it the perfect opportunity to settle in, make new friends, and maybe even crack open your newest read.Price TransparencyThis event is donation based.
