SalemRecycles Free Book Swap returns to the Community Life Center at 401 Bridge Street on Saturday, March 23, 2024 from 10:00am-1:00pm! Swapping isn’t necessary — you may donate, take away, or both.
In addition to books, the swap accepts CDs, DVDs, video games, records (all in original cases, please), plus puzzles, greeting cards, and cloth reusable bags! All items must be clean, dry, and mildew free. Sorry, no magazines or VHS and cassette tapes.
TO DONATE, please drop off at the Community Life Center on Friday, March 22 from 4:00-7:00pm, or Saturday, March 23 from 9:00am-noon.
All leftover materials will be donated or recycled.
