Program Description: 
This is a passive program that will run through the week of October 12th in the teen area. Reduce, reuse, recycle! Need to tidy up your bookshelves but don't want them to be totally bare? Participate in Book Swap! Bring books in good condition that you no longer want and trade them for some new to you ones! While you're here, be sure to browse around for books to borrow. You can find some neat ideas on how to reduce your clutter, get organized, be green, and these will only fill up your shelves temporarily! Books only please, no magazines, CDs or DVDs.

Post Event Activities

Were the direct and indirect costs warranted based on the success of this event/program?: 
Since this was a passive program, it is hard to evaluate. I didn't do any outside marketing, just around the library. We had 16 teens participate by taking home a book, but no one swapped a book out with another one which is fine because I really needed to get rid of some of my gift books. I would like to do it again next year and give it more hype about actual swapping.
