MEGA Book Swap

TICKET SWAP ATRIUM : How it works

You get tickets and you swap your ticket for a book from the big book zone that will have over 100 books in it! Most of the books will ‘cost’ just one ticket. There will be tables spread out in the large Atrium and books will be grouped roughly into areas like “Fiction”, “Memoir”, “Children’s”.

How to get tickets:

You can BUY TICKETS
You can buy 1 ticket for $5 or 3 tickets for $10

or

You can SWAP BOOKS FOR TICKETS
3 books gets you 1 ticket
5 books gets you 2 tickets
10 books gets you 5 tickets
Over 10 books get you 1 ticket for every 2 books

(see below for what books will not be accepted and which might get you extra tickets)

Note: We expect there may be a 5-10 minute line to exchange your books for tickets, so come early and avoid the line.

CHAOS SWAP LOUNGE : How it works

Want to keep it old school? Love a traditional barter? Then you might love the CHAOS SWAP LOUNGE. There will be some tables, chairs and couches set up in the lounge. Here you just trade with people directly. You can put your books out on the table and see who has books they want to trade with you for them. No one is going to help you make a trade -it’s all up to you. It might be more chaotic than the ticket system but it also might be more fun!

Some limits on what books can be swapped:

You can swap almost any kind of book that is in decent condition. It can be in rough shape but we won’t accept anything with mold, water damage or yucky to touch.

Also, the following books will not be accepted for tickets:

• Dictionaries or textbooks
• Reference books that are over 5 years old
• Outdated non-fiction like travel guides, health advice and self-help that are over 5 years old
• Magazines (unless they are xxx magazines - we love those!)

• Queer books by BIPOC authors
• Children’s books with 2SLGBTQ content
• Trans books that are less than 10 years old
• Photography books
• Erotica
