Our second annual Spring Children’s Book Exchange is here and it is bigger and better than ever before! Bring your gently used children’s books to share and pick up new-to-you books from your friends and neighbors. We’ll have healthy snacks thanks to Eddie’s of Mount Vernon, chalk to draw, balls to play, craft activities and costumed story readers starting at 11:00am. Best of all – Baltimore Reads has donated over 100 books – boardbooks, picture books, pop-up books, poetry books and more – to share with Baltimore kids of all ages!
