Mission

We are a community-based, volunteer-run book exchange for Banner Elk and Avery County, operating on a "bring a book, take a book" policy.

How it Works

Bring a book, take a book!  There is no check out or return of books. Simply bring a book or books and exchange them for the same number of different books.  No books to trade in?  In lieu of a book to exchange, you may make a small donation to take a book home.
