📚 The ink has dried on the past, so a new Northern chapter begins.. Book Swap Circle summons readers to Forum Groningen! At the heart of this edition is the joy of swapping books: giving a story a second life, letting it travel to a new reader, and discovering something unexpected in return.

The ticket price reflects what it takes to bring the full Book Swap Circle experience north after our successful pilot earlier this year. We transport our curated collection from Utrecht, so Groningen gets the same richness and quality. We cover materials for the Creative Corner, invest in decoration and coins to create that cozy, magical Book Swap feeling. And of course, it supports the many hours of planning, sorting, transporting, and hosting that make the event possible. See you in August! Instagram: @bookswapcircle
