Come to the beloved Salem Book Swap!
Zero Waste Salem Free Book Swap returns on Saturday, September 19, 2026 from 10:00am-1:00pm! Horace Mann Laboratory School gym (79 Willson St, entrance in rear of building). Swapping isn’t necessary — you may donate, take away, or both.
We accept ONLY books, CDs, DVDs, records (all in original cases, please), plus puzzles and greeting cards. We are also accepting bags (paper, plastic, grocery, cloth) for swapping.
All items must be clean, dry, and mildew free.
TO DONATE, please drop off at Horace Mann Laboratory School gym (79 Willson St, entrance in rear of building) on Friday, September 18 from 4:00-7:00pm, or Saturday, September 19 from 9:00am-noon. Remaining items will be donated.
Please understand that our volunteers will have to sort through and trash anything except the accepted items. Please respect volunteers’ time and health and
DO NOT bring magazines, VHS, old/mildewed/outdated books, home CDs, binders, and cassette tapes.
