Subject: Free Book Swap Saturday September 20th

Free Book Swap Saturday September 20; 10 am – 1 pm

On Saturday September 20, help yourself at a Free Book Swap! This is the eleventh book swap sponsored by SalemRecycles, the City of Salem’s Recycling Committee. The event will take place at the Senior Center at 5 Broad Street on Saturday September 20 from 10am – 1pm. 

The book swap is a great way to recycle any of your unwanted books, greeting cards; and commercial CDs, DVDs and videos. Take home a whole new selection of commercial media items, cards and even some bestselling books.  All books are accepted—even text books. No swap is needed--you can donate materials, take materials, or both!  Drop off will be held Friday, September 19, from 5:30-7 pm, or just bring your books between 9:45 am and noon on Saturday.
