Recently The New York Times reported reading for pleasure is down 40% in the US over the last two decades (August, 2025). Fewer people are reading for fun, yet reading fiction improves well-being, increases empathy, and a habit of nightly reading helps you sleep better.

You are invited to myHub's Book Swap on Tuesday, September 23rd! 

Maybe it's been awhile since you've read something just for fun, or if you're a regular reader, your TBR pile needs another “friend” in the stack! Invest in your reading habit without spending a dime at the Book Swap. Here's how to participate:

1. Bring one book to give away. Come anyway even if you don't have a book to give!

2. At the book swap, fill out a book plate to let everyone know what you thought of the book you brought. Display your book for others to peruse.

3. Browse everyone else's books and choose one to take home.

4. Make a DIY stamped tote bag (supplies provided) for your book.

5. Chat with fellow readers.

6. Eat some snacks.
