Yankee Book Swap
Event Location: Millis Public Library
Contact: Tricia Perry   508-376-8282
This is the third Yankee Book Swap-and each one seems to become more popular!  This event was held in January and April and participants had so much fun that they requested that it become a semi-annual event!  To participate in the Yankee Book Swap, just select an interesting, unusual, or well-loved used book that you have personally enjoyed, wrap it up so that it remains a bit mysterious and bring it along to the party.  The book, while used, should still be in good condition.  If the book has no dust jacket, please  include a brief note describing the book.   "Yankee Book Swap" participants will enjoy an evening of great conversation and light refreshments will be served.
 
As a special treat, a mystery local Millis author, may start the evening off with a short reading from a piece that was published very recently.
