Ever wonder… what to do with the stuff you no longer want? Join SPL’s sustainability effort to keep unwanted items out of our landfill – drop it off here, and swap it for something you may treasure! Free to drop, free to “shop” - no money exchanged at all, no dropping necessary for swapping! 

Find our book swap partner Stratford Reads on Facebook.

How it works

The DROP | Oct 17 (5-8) & Oct 18 (10-4): Drop off your clean, lovely, but no-longer-wanted books on Thurs, Oct 17 (5-8) or Fri, Oct 18 (10-4). When you donate items, you will receive an "early bird" voucher for the swap the following day.

The SWAP | Oct 19 (10:30-4): Come pick out new items! You do not need to donate to participate but those who do will be admitted to the "early bird" timeslot from 10:00-10:30 AM. General admission is from 10:30-4. 

*Please bring your own bags or boxes to carry your items home in

**Leftover items will be donated to Goodwill, and partnering organizations

What to donate

What to bring: Donated items must be in very fine condition - nothing musty, stained, ripped, yellowed with age, or falling apart. Children's books are especially wanted. We're also accepting audiobooks, large print, and multilingual, as long as they meet the conditions above. 

Not accepting: Anything musty, stained, ripped, or falling apart.
