BIZNOTE: Paper Boat Booksellers’ first book swap

(WSB photos by Torin Record-Sand)

New event happening right now at Paper Boat Booksellers in The Junction (4522 California SW; WSB sponsor) – they’re launching a monthly Book Swap, with wine. Bring a gently used book and take a book.

That part’s free; if you’re interested in wine, Karin from Darby Winery is there tonight with $10 pours (she’s at left above with Kelly from Paper Boat). This is on till 7 pm tonight; you can just run in, swap, and run out if you want to, but Paper Boat says, “The goal of Book Swap is to meet other book lovers, discover new books, chat about books (if you want to!), enjoy a glass of wine and have fun!” If you miss this one, set your calendar for the next third Thursday (April 16).

What are the hours for these events? I see it goes until 9pm but time does it start?

It was in both our daily list and our calendar. 5:30 to 7 pm. When we published this, it was a “Happening Now” – the event was already under way – but when it ended at 7 pm I had to take “happening now” out of the headline.

Paper Boat continues to be a warm presence in the community. Between their support of local schools, nicely curated book selection and inviting events such as this we really couldn’t ask for a better neighbor.
