Let Freedom Read Day: Read-In and Book Swap

On the last day of Banned Books Week 2025 - Let Freedom Read Day - join us for a read-in on the Forbes Lawn in partnership with the Massachusetts Center for the Book.

Bring your own book, as well as a blanket or lawn chair, and settle in to read together in community.

We will also be holding a casual book swap during the event. Bring in your gently-used books and swap them for something new-to-you.

Light refreshments will be available first come, first served. In the event of bad weather, this event will take place in the Community Room.
