This post announces a bookswap in Davis Square from 1 to 4 PM, on Sunday July 13th. (That's two weeks from today, so start sorting your collection!)
It is in celebration of my birthday, but you do not need to know me or my partner
mrpet to attend. Also, if you do know us, we do not have to get along - all are welcome. There is no cost to enter, we only ask that you bring at least one bag of books. You can take away as many as you like and there are always plenty of delicious books to go around! Leftovers will be donated to charity.
Q: Where is this?
A: We're in Davis Square, Somerville. If you haven't been here before, send me an email. ladyanemone at gmail dot com.
Q: Who can come?
A: Anybody. You don't have to know us, we don't have to get along if you do. Yes, you can bring friends and sweeties (please, bring at least one bag of books per person). Random strangers off the street are also fine, as long as they consent and have books, heh heh!
Q: Any books you don't want?
A: Yes. Please do not bring encyclopedias, computer manuals, magazines, Reader's Digest Versions, or anything that lacks structural integrity (in other words, the binding must be intact).
Everything else is fine, including hardcover, paperback, fiction and non, children's and YA books, adult books, books in English, and books in other languages.
Q: I have about five bookcases worth... is that cool?
A: Due to charity transportation concerns, please do not bring more books than will fit in the trunk of a normal-sized car. Choose the best! We can give you suggestions of where to donate the rest, if desired.
Q: How about kids?
A: Sure, but our house isn't even a little bit childproof and you will need to be eyes-on responsible for your kid at all times.
Q: Can I drop my books off beforehand?
A: That is totally encouraged, as it will help us to sort books in advance. You can set up a specific time with me or put them on our porch - it's roofed.
Q: Do you need any help?
A: So glad you asked! We'll need folks to help us sort books and set up, folks to keep things running smoothly during the event, and at least two people to do charity dropoffs afterwards. Leave a comment if you can give us a hand!
Q: What will happen to the leftover books?
A: We will donate them to charity, probably the Prison Book Project for the paperbacks and a local library for the hardcovers.
Q: Where can I park?
A: We live on a street with resident-only parking. However, on Sundays anyone can park there, so there should be plenty of parking opps.
Q: Are you public transportation accessible?
A: Oh so very. The Red Line and many buses come quite close by.
Q: I have a friend I think would be interested!
A: Point them at this post! Feel free to publicize as widely as you like.
Hope to see lots of you then!
