Join us for our next Adult Book Fair!
Think Scholastic Book Fair… for adults.
Remember the high of having dollars to spend at your Scholastic Book Fair back in grade school? The hologram bookmarks, the tiny erasers, the celebrity posters, and don't forget the books!
Our Adult Book Fairs bring that energy back with a twist. We’re proud to partner with Sam Miller and The Novel Notion to host our unique spin on the book fair, featuring a community book swap, all kinds of bookish merch and handmade bookish goods, giveaways, SIPS Coffee Truck, adult beverages, and more!
We do not have another event on the books for 2026, but we’ll let you know when we set dates for 2027!
What can you expect?
-
The Book Swap
We've been collecting gently-used books for a giant community book swap! During the book fair, attendees are invited to pick up to three books to take home - whether or not you donated books. It's free, it's fun, and it's a great way to refresh your bookshelves!

The Novel Notion
Sam of The Novel Notion is back with all kinds of handmade bookish goods, from pencil pouches and totes to bookmarks, keychains, pins, pencils, and so much more. It's the grown-up version of the Scholastic Book Fair and you will love it!
-
& More!
Did we mention SIPS Coffee Truck will be on site? Or that Sara & Sybil will be popping up inside Wit & Whimzy? Plus, we’ll have special bookish items from our featured artists, door prizes, and more! The best part? Being able to spend a bookish afternoon with friends!
BOOK SWAP
Drop off gently-used adult and YA fiction to Clutch Collective at 152 Front Street! You are welcome to donate as many books as you’d like. All attendees will be able to pick up to three books to take home, regardless of how many they donated. Leftover books will be donated to the WCPL Friends of the Library.
