About this Event
Come join us at The Stutz for a fun, relaxing, and joyful evening celebrating books! Bring a book (or a stack of books) to the swap and leave with some new treasures. Opt-in to make one of our craft kits, or just hang out at the swap and nerd out with other bookish people.
Bring a friend, or come alone, and you'll be sure to see some familiar faces or meet some friendly folks passionate about community, the arts, and all things making, crafting, and creating.
