Jolabokaflod

Friday December 19th, 2025 @ 6:00PM - 8:00 PM

In Iceland, Christmas Eve means it's time for books. Known as Jolabokaflod, people exchange gifts of books to one another and spend the evening reading. Traditionally while enjoying chocolate.

We will be celebrating that with a Book Swap.

Here's how it works:

*Bring in a new or gently used book that you loved and trade it for something new (to you)

*Please bring a book you think someone else would enjoy; this is not an opportunity to get rid of old encyclopedias no one wants

*You may bring more than one book, but you must take as many as you bring

*Metta Coffee will be making something special for this event (think hot chocolate) so stick around and be among fellow readers
