Language Arts is partnering with Heretics Club for an in-person BOOK SWAP <3
You can get tickets here. We can’t wait to hang! :)
What’s more intimate than the stories we hold close to our hearts? On June 10th, join Heretics Club and Language Arts at Apt 5 in the Lower East Side for a blind book exchange. You’ll bring a book in good condition (secondhand encouraged!) that’s touched you in one way or another. It can be fiction or nonfiction, a collection of essays, plays, or a screenplay—just as long as it's a body of written work that has spoken to you. We’ll spend the first portion of the event wrapping them (supplies provided) and adding a short handwritten note about why it mattered to you.
From there, we’ll swap: no covers, no titles, just curiosity and instinct based on the cards from the original owner. You’ll be able to walk around the venue and pick a blind title that you’ll take home. Good conversation and a new book will be guaranteed; food and drinks will also be available for purchase. Come alone or with a friend!
A special thank you to our friends at Seen Library for cultivating an intentional book exchange that Shared Stories is modeled after.
