DETAILED PROGRAMME:

Happy Book Exchange for children at Cafe Culca, ul. Mostowa 14
Time: 10.00 a.m. - 2.00 p.m.

All children are welcome to join us reading and share their literary collections. During the Exchange, they will be able to trade books for others, find out what other children like reading, meet new fascinating books, and make new friends. The Exchange has a few simple rules: you bring a few books with you. Those who want to exchange books decide on the conditions themselves – they can exchange them or give them away as gifts. The exchange must be free of charge, and the books which have not been exchanged should be taken back home by the owner. Remember to ensure that the books you want to exchange are in good condition, to make other children happy.

NOTICE: all participants of the Happy Book Exchange will be welcome to help themselves to some refreshing lemonade and tarts.

The Great Idleness
Time: 10.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m.

Great idleness on the other side of the Bernatka Footbridge. The green square will be filled with comfortable sofas with the Free Reading Zone logo. It will be the perfect place to unwind on Saturday with a book and a glass of lemonade.
