Join us for an afternoon of books, community, and fun!
Bring a selection of books you’ve enjoyed and are ready to pass along, fiction, nonfiction, children’s books, cookbooks, or anything in between. We’re also accepting puzzles for swapping.
For every book or puzzle you bring, you’ll receive a ticket to swap for the same number of items. Want a few extras? Additional books can be purchased for just $1 each.
It’s the perfect opportunity to refresh your bookshelf, clear out your puzzle shelf, and connect with fellow book lovers in the community.
Each ticket includes entry to the event, 2 door prize entries, refreshments, and a chance to socialize with other book enthusiasts.
This family-friendly community event will also feature kids’ activities, so bring the whole family for an afternoon of reading, puzzles, and fun.
We’re excited to once again have support from Roasti Coffee Co., 70 Acre Brew Co., Confetti Sweets, and some new sponsors this year we can’t wait to announce.
Friends is passionate about our library and committed to its continued success with dedicated efforts to:
Fundraise
Friends of Strathcona County Library organize exciting fundraising events including community gatherings, 50/50 raffles, casinos, and more to support the library’s vital programs and resources. In addition, we actively apply for grants and funding opportunities to provide the library with financial support it cannot pursue directly.
Support
Friends always needs volunteers for library book sales, community events and more!
Advocate
Friends of Strathcona County Library are passionate library advocates dedicated to championing the library’s vital services, resources, and community impact. We raise public awareness through active community engagement, fundraising events, and everyday conversations that highlight the importance of a strong, accessible public library for Sherwood Park.
