Spring Sip & Swap

Spring Sip & Swap

From 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Sunday, April 6th, we invite you to "Clear Your Shelves & Fill Your Glass." Participants are invited to bring pre-loved books wrapped in plain paper with a brief description (5 words or less) written on the cover—without revealing the author or title. This creates an element of mystery and discovery as attendees select new reads based solely on these intriguing mini-descriptions.

The event follows a simple but effective formula: bring a book, take a book, and engage in conversations with fellow readers and guest authors while enjoying drinks in Small Gods' taproom. It's the perfect opportunity to refresh your reading list while connecting with the local literary community.

Featured Authors

The evening will be enhanced by the presence of three local authors:

These writers will be available for casual conversations, offering attendees a chance to discuss literature with published authors in an informal setting.

Community Impact

In a thoughtful touch, any books remaining at the end of the event won't go to waste—they'll be donated to Books to Prisoners Victoria, extending the life and impact of these stories beyond the event itself.
