The Book Ladies’ Book Swap is held monthly at West Newton Cinema (1296 Washington Street, West Newton). The next Book Swap at the Cinema will be on Saturday, December 13 from 12:30PM-3PM. Find future dates on The Book Ladies’ Facebook page.
A bit of history… Nancy Brown and Annette Seaward started hosting their Book Swap at L’Aroma Café in the fall of 2016. It was borne from their love of books; they shared books liberally with each other and thought it would be fun to include other book people. So, twice a year, until Covid, they happily shared books and conversation. Once things opened up again, they brought back the twice-yearly Book Swap to Nancy’s front porch. Then in early spring of this year, in the spirit of community building and supporting local business, they found a home at the West Newton Cinema and with it, the opportunity for a monthly Book Swap.
The “swap” is not obligatory. The Book Ladies’ motto is: “Bring some books (or not), take some books (please)!”
