Summer's End Third Annual Book Swap
Mark your calendars and check your bookshelves and closets for books to bring to the Leading Ladies' annual book swap to support area literacy programs. Fiction and non-fiction published since 2000; cookbooks from any era in good condition; jigsaw puzzles with all pieces. If you need a pickup, let us know. Otherwise, hold on to them until the end of summer. The swap date is Saturday, Sept 9; location is the side yard of the Book Shop of Beverly Farms. We are planning a story hour for kids this year too!
