Corner Coffeehouse slates book swap

The gathering on Jan. 14 will be "an evening of coffee, conversation and book trading."

If reading more is one of your goals for 2023, you’ll find some new material at a community book swap from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14, at Corner Coffeehouse, 1100 S. Main St.

And if tidying up your home is another goal for the year, you could gather up books you’ve already read and take them to the swap for other readers to consider.  

Either way, the event promises to inspire new choices in reading material.

“Bring one book or fifty and your wishlist, and join us for an evening of coffee, conversation, and book trading!” organizers explained in a Facebook post.

Participants may bring any genre to the swap.
