FREE BOOK! Just swap us a review! Here’s how it works: The Teen Librarian will bring out free books and hand them out to the first people who want them (or until the books run out). You will, in turn, swap us a bookmark review by the next bookswap. The books available may include: advance readers’ copies, new or old titles, nonfiction, or graphic novels/manga.
For more information, contact Marla, Teen Librarian, at mbergman@sfpl.org or 415-355-2858 415-355-2858
