Books & Bagels Book Swap at Salt Your Soul
Books, bagels, and a little mystery — sounds like a pretty great Saturday morning to us.
Join us at Salt Your Soul for a free Books & Bagels Book Swap hosted by a local group of writers and book lovers!
Saturday, September 26, 2026
10:30AM–12:30PM
Salt Your Soul Gift Co.
7256 S Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34231
How the Book Swap Works
Bring a book, take a book!
Choose a book you’re ready to pass along, wrap it in paper or tuck it into a gift bag, and write only the genre on the outside. No title, no author — the fun is choosing your next read without knowing exactly what you’re getting!
Bring one wrapped book to swap and you’ll leave with a new-to-you mystery book from another attendee.
And Yes, There Will Be Bagels
Bagels and water will be provided to enjoy during the event. You can also pre-order bagels to take home through the event organizers. Be sure to select September 26 as your pickup date when ordering.
50/50 Raffle
There will also be a 50/50 cash raffle during the event, so bring a little cash if you’d like to participate! Raffle is not affiliated with Salt Your Soul Gift Co.
