Book Swap

Book Swap Program 


The Book Swap was initiated in 2004 by School Council as a means for the students of South Branch to share and engage in the love of reading.  This  initiative takes place in the school foyer, and has become a popular event that the children look forward to.

By bringing gently used books from home that the students are no longer reading (because they have outgrown them, or simply because they think a friend or another student might enjoy them), they are sharing the joy of reading with many children.

How Does It Work?

  • Students or parents bring in gently used elementary school aged books  from home and  drop them at the front office. These items can be from previous swaps or from their home library.
  • Parent volunteers sort and prepare books for the Swap.  Teachers sign their classroom up for a time to come - students will be able to take out 1-3 books each visit depending on the amount of books collected at the swap.
  •  There will be reminders for bringing in books from home throughout the year when the Book Swaps are scheduled (dependent on parent volunteer availability).

Remember: Without parent volunteer & books there is no Swap!

The School Council is proud to be a part of such a caring school with students who are keen to share and engage with each other through their love of reading.  Happy Reading!
