Book Swap

Kennesaw Parks & Recreation will host its annual Book Swap event at the Ben Robertson Community Center on Saturday, Jan. 25, from 8 to 11 AM.

Area residents interested in participating can drop off gently used hardcover or paperback books, music CDs, DVD movies, and vinyl records on Jan. 23 and Jan. 24, from noon to 8 PM, and receive a ticket redeemable for the same number of items during “open swap” time on Jan. 25. Books must have their front and back covers intact and be in good condition. CDs, DVDs, and vinyl records must be in their original cases and fully operable. Magazines, software, VHS or cassette tapes, adult content, and unauthorized or illegal material will not be accepted.

Items will be organized into the following categories: fiction, children, teen, nonfiction, DVDs, and CDs/vinyl. Individuals are limited to 75 books, 40 CDs, 40 DVDs, and 40 vinyl records per person. This swap is completely free; items cannot be purchased. Any remaining items left at the end of the swap will be donated.

Kennesaw Parks & Recreation seeks willing hearts and helping hands to assist with set-up, execution, and breakdown of event activities. Assistance is needed during drop-off and at the event with receiving, sorting, counting, and bagging items. Volunteers must have the ability to bend, stoop, stand, and lift up to 20 pounds. Those interested are invited to explore the list of volunteer opportunities and sign up for a volunteer shift on the registration website, CivicRec.
