Special

Book Swap Circle & Film

Book lovers, take note! Discover new stories during the Movies that Matter Book Swap and give your bookshelves a fresh start. Bring 1 to 10 books and swap them in a cozy, relaxed setting. During three time slots, you can find new favorites in our Swap Area (from Fantasy and Sci-Fi to Thriller, Romance, and Literary Fiction).

The swap is organized by @BookSwapCircle, which was founded to connect book lovers and encourage a circular way of exchanging books. This makes reading more accessible and creative.

Books, like films, carry perspective, empathy, and social reflection. You’ll also have the opportunity to write on a paper book cover why a particular book was important to you – Books that Matter.

This event is all about meeting others, sharing stories, and making new connections. Come for the books, swap your favorites, and stay for a special film of your choice.

Book Swap participants will receive a limited edition bookmark!
