Book Swap Storytelling Afternoon

Organise a “Book Swap and Storytelling Afternoon” for families and book lovers in the community.

Invite community members to bring books they no longer need to swap with others. Set up a space at your church or a local park with tables where books can be displayed according to genre. During the event, arrange for local storytellers or volunteers to read stories to children and adults. Provide comfortable seating areas and light refreshments like tea, coffee, and biscuits. Promote the event through local schools, libraries, and social media to encourage participation.

A Book Swap and Storytelling Afternoon encourages reading, reduces waste through book recycling, and provides an opportunity for community bonding. It’s a low-cost way to promote literacy and foster a love for books among all ages.
