The last such edition of the Second Life of a Book

Although there is just a little over a week left until Christmas and most of us are turning our thoughts to the Christmas menu, shopping, and searching for the right Christmas tree and presents, you did not disappoint us yet again, and, as usual, turned up in crowds for the book swap at the Wyspiański Pavilion. And wanting to thank you for yet another year together, we have prepared some surprises. The still fresh canvas bags with The Second Life of a Book logo, filled with books, went like hot cakes.

PLEASE NOTE: because the campaign has expanded significantly and attracts hundreds of participants each month, at your request, we are changing its location to a larger one. From the coming year forward, we will meet at the Tourist Services Centre (ul. Powiśle 11). Apart from monthly swaps, special editions will traditionally be organised: on Children’s Day, during the Conrad Festival and the Book Fair in Krakow, the culinary swaps during the Najedzeni Fest! festival, the holiday swap at the MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as the audio-visual material swaps organised in cooperation with the Arteteka of the Regional Public Library. See you there!

Books published till 1995 can be swapped only for those that were also published till that year, whereas newer books (published after 1995) can be swapped for every book available during the given book swap.
