BookMingle ~ A social bookswap (free event)

  • Exchange Christchurch (XCHC) 376 Wilsons Rd N Christchurch New Zealand (map)

Hi everyone, I'm Iris!
I’m passionate about books and I would like to invite all book-lovers to come and share the books you love.

Many great books are sitting on our shelves, so I wanted to invite you to pick a few that you have read and loved and would like to pass onto someone else who might appreciate them.. and you can leave with new ones!

This event is also to mingle and share stories of the books you brought.

Every category is welcome! Picture books, fiction, young adult, kids, classics, etc... as long as they're favorites!
This is not a book dump for books you don't like.

How it will work:

1. Pick books (5x limit) from your shelf
2. Write a note with what you loved and leave with the book
3. Bring to event and put them into the right category/table
4. Discover others books that interest you and take them home (3x limit)
5. Books that aren't taken home will be added to the new XCHC Library.
6. Bring the book back to XCHC once you're done with it, or to the next BookMingle event.

There will be couches to sit, read, have a coffee/drink, so come discover exciting new books, gather with book-loving friends, and have a great time.
