Our 3rd annual Community Book Swap has been extended to two days this year!

This free event is open to the public and is sure to be a fun day for the whole family. Bring your used books (all genres/ages) and puzzles to donate, and browse our huge selection of free books for some new favorites to replace them! (Donations not required to browse and select books.)

There will be story times led by local authors, a fun craft project hosted by Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries and Battle Ground Art Alliance, face painting, alpaca encounters (Friday), a caramel apple topping bar, a chili competition (Friday), a scavenger hunt, and more! On Saturday Getta Gyro and Shell’s East Coast Snowballs will be on site to delight your tastebuds!

Thousands of books will be swapped thanks to donations from community members and local bookstores. Books of all kinds will be available, from board books to encyclopedias and cookbooks. All leftover books will be donated to Friends of Three Creeks Community Library to ensure that they are getting another life with eager readers!

Families are encouraged to stay to play and check out our beautiful campus, wetlands, and playground! We will have staff onsite to give more information about our school and answer any questions you have.

We’d love to get a rough headcount prior to the event, so we would appreciate it if you RSVP at this link. (You are still welcome to come if you don’t RSVP ahead!) If you’d like to reach out with any questions regarding the event or book donations, please contact our front desk at office@gardnerschool.org or call (360) 574- 5752.
