Kennesaw, GA (January 7, 2025) — Kennesaw Parks & Recreation will host its annual Book Swap on Saturday, Jan. 25, from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Ben Robertson Community Center.

Residents can drop off gently used hardcover or paperback books, music CDs, DVDs and vinyl records on Thursday, Jan. 23, and Friday, Jan. 24, from noon to 8 p.m. Participants will receive a ticket for each item they donate, which can be redeemed for the same number of items during the “open swap” on Saturday.

Books must have both front and back covers intact and be in good condition. CDs, DVDs and vinyl records must be in their original cases and fully functional. Magazines, software, VHS or cassette tapes, adult content and unauthorized or illegal materials will not be accepted.

Items will be organized into categories: fiction, children’s, teen, nonfiction, DVDs and CDs/vinyl. Participants are limited to donating up to 75 books, 40 CDs, 40 DVDs and 40 vinyl records. The swap is free, and items cannot be purchased. Any items left over at the end of the event will be donated.

Kennesaw Parks & Recreation is seeking volunteers to assist with setup, organization, and cleanup. Volunteers are needed on both drop-off days and during the swap to help receive, sort, count and bag items. Volunteers must be able to bend, stoop, stand and lift to 20 pounds.
