Book Swap Social

Calling all book lovers! Join us for an evening of fun & intellectually stimulating conversations! This in-person gathering at Pigeon Cafe and Bar is designed for readers to meet fellow literary enthusiasts, discover new books, and leave with a fresh addition to their shelves!

Throughout the evening, participants will rotate through our interactive book speed connecting experience with curated conversation prompts at every table to help keep the discussion flowing naturally.

✨ Bring 1 gently loved book to swap
✨ Rotate through short book-themed conversation rounds (4-5 mins each)
✨ Keep track of books that catch your eye throughout the evening
✨ Browse the collection at the end of the night
✨ Leave with a new book and new connections 📖

This is the perfect opportunity to meet fellow readers and make meaningful connections!

Each attendee will receive:

• 1 drink ticket redeemable from a curated drink menu
• Access to a buffet of delicious appetizers and finger foods throughout the evening

Every guest will automatically be entered into our raffle for a chance to win a basket filled with stationery, bookish goodies, and gifts from local vendors across Toronto and the GTA!

We’re excited to feature local emerging artist Cassy Reilly, who specializes in acrylic paintings inspired by the natural world. Cassy will be showcasing and selling her impressive hand-painted bookmarks, book-themed art prints, and other beautiful creations during the event!

We can’t wait to bloom, connect, and swap stories with you 💐
