See all- Swap MeetBrooklyn Public Library -- Williamsburgh Branch, Brooklyn, NY
On November 30th from 12:00-2:00, join us for a community swap meet and free market. Members are strongly encouraged to bring at least one item to trade or give away. We’ll start with intros, where members will have a chance to share the items they’ve brought, before moving into open social/giveaway/swap time. A great way for our community to celebrate the holiday weekend!
