Events, Large Deliveries and Donations
Beyond our work at the Book Swap on Friday and Saturday mornings we are increasingly involved in community literacy events throughout Fairfield County. This list is designed for our volunteers and followers to keep track of upcoming large donations and deliveries.
We also maintain free libraries on a weekly basis in Stamford and Greenwich for Family Centers, Inspirica, DOMUS, Fairgate Farms, CLC and the Greenwich Ferry Terminal (summer).
