About this Event
Join us for a cozy, come-and-go event featuring a wine pairing flight, a community book swap, and a DIY book page art craft station. It’s the perfect way to take a moment for yourself during the holidays, surrounded by cozy vibes and bookish friends.
Here’s what you’ll find:
Holiday Book Swap
Our book swaps are all about the cozy, casual vibes. They're designed to feel like a social event where you just happen to be surrounded by books. Here's how it works:
- Bring 1–3 gently pre-loved books you’ve already read or are ready to pass along. Any genre is welcome! The only rule: bring books in good condition (something you’d feel good lending to a friend).
- When you arrive, drop your books at the swap table (look for signage!), then grab a drink, browse, and start picking your next read.
- To keep it fair, please take home the same number of books you brought. In the last hour, we’ll open it up to grab extras from what’s left.
Note: Most books* left over after the event get distributed to little free libraries around the area.
Pop-Up Bookstore
While you’re there, explore our curated collection of new and used books, “Blind Date with a Book” surprises, and bookish merch.
DIY Book Page Art (Add-On)
Create your own bookish art piece using pages from vintage or damaged books! You’ll choose a favorite quote (yours or ours), then use calligraphy pens or stencils to letter it onto a page you can frame, gift, or keep.
We’ll provide everything you need, including book pages, stencils, pens, and inspiration prompts.
It’s simple, relaxing, and makes a beautiful handmade gift (or a cozy little piece of décor for your reading nook).
Book + Wine Pairings (Add-On)
Dive into a flight of wines from Pomum Cellars, each paired with a curated selection of books inspired by the vibes. Sip through your flight and find the book that pairs best with your favorite pour!
Ticket also includes the DIY book page art, a free book of your choice (up to $25 in value or $25 off your purchase),15% off your Lost The Plot book purchase, and 15% off any additional wine for the night.
What to Expect:
- Laid-back, solo-friendly atmosphere. Come sip, browse, and mingle at your own pace.
- Perfect for holiday shopping, gifting, or just treating yourself to an afternoon surrounded by good books and good wine.
- No pressure to do every activity! Join the book swap, shop the pop-up, or just hang out and people-watch.
Please note: This event is 21+ (wine will be served).
