On Saturday 14 February, Discover’s annual London Children’s Book Swap will take place for its fourth year.

All you need to do to get involved is choose a book (or books!) you’ve finished reading, take them along to your closest London Children’s Book Swap venue, and then pick up another book to read – absolutely free! There will also be loads of family friendly events, and keep a look out for the Walker Bear, who will be dropping by throughout the day!

Participating organisations and venues include the Discover Children’s Story Centre, artsdepot, ArtHouse Crouch End, Barbican Children’s Library, Barking Library, Chisenhale Art Place, Hoxton Hall, Dagenham Library, Jacksons Lane, Polka Theatre, Rich Mix, Shoreditch Trust, Southbank Centre, Unicorn Theatre, V&A Museum of Childhood and the William Morris Gallery.

There are a total of 38 top family friendly arts and cultural venues across 17 London boroughs, so for a full list of places and more info, visit the Discover website, head to Facebook, or follow them on Twitter: @LDNChildBkSwap #LDNChildrensBkSwap.
