The Black Books Matter Book Swap: Juneteenth Edition is a must-attend event for book lovers looking to expand their literary horizons. Hosted by the beloved MahoganyBooks bookstore at their National Harbor location, this special book swap celebrates the rich literary contributions of Black authors. Held on Juneteenth, a pivotal day in African American history, the event provides a unique opportunity to honor and engage with Black storytelling. Attendees are encouraged to bring up to 5 new or gently used books by Black writers, which they can then exchange for other treasures from the swap. This book-trading tradition not only allows participants to refresh their personal libraries but also fosters a sense of community and shared appreciation for diverse narratives. Beyond the book swap, attendees will enjoy a 10% discount on any MahoganyBooks purchases made that same day, incentivizing them to explore the store's impressive collection of Black-authored works. Whether you're a voracious reader, a bibliophile in search of new discoveries, or simply someone who values the power of representation in literature, the Black Books Matter Book Swap: Juneteenth Edition is an event you won't want to miss. With the chance to connect with fellow book enthusiasts, discover hidden gems, and support Black-owned businesses, this celebration of literature and culture is sure to be an enriching and memorable experience.
