About this Event

The Village Read: A Family Book Swap πŸŒΏπŸ“š

Spring is here β€” and that means it's time to reset the bookshelf and find your village.

Join us for The Village Read, a free monthly gathering where Brooklyn families come together to read, swap books, and connect. Dig out a gently loved book your little one has outgrown, bring it along, and trade it for a fresh new read to kick off the season. While the kids settle in for a cozy read-in, parents get a moment to breathe, snack, and meet other families in the neighborhood.

Because every little reader deserves a new story β€” and every parent deserves their village. 🌸

What to expect:

  • A cozy, welcoming read-in space for kids and caregivers
  • A book swap β€” bring one, take one
  • Light refreshments
  • Great conversation with fellow parents
  • A monthly reset the whole family will look forward to

What to bring: One gently used book in good condition to swap Best for: Little readers ages 5–11 β€” siblings and caregivers of all ages welcome Cost: Free β€” registration is highly suggested so we can plan for your family
