Shelf to Shelf: Book and Clothing Swap
Come by for a clothing and book swap with the Swap Society weekly in Reno!
Items accepted at this swap:
- Books (Gently used books in good condition—clean, complete, and free from major damage, all genres are welcome, importantly, share books you'd be excited for someone else to discover and enjoy.)
- Clean gently used clothing (No rips, tears, stains or need of repair)
- Shoes
- Accessories
- Clothing tip: wear form fitting tank tops or shorts underneath to lessen exposure when trying on clothes. (Optional)
Items not accepted:

- No shoes, jewelry, or other accessories.
- No undergarments are accepted at this swap.
How it works:
Purchase a ticket and swap 1 item for 1 item or join the Swap Society and swap till you drop with the "shopping pass". Members unlock unlimited swapping at all locations, and other perks!
Schedule:
- First 20 minutes, check in and mingle with swappers
- Swapping begins and continues throughout the event with wrap up starting 30 minutes to end of event
- Arrive on time for the best picks!
Leftover items:
Leftover items are either saved for the next swap or donated to Safe Embrace or St. Vincent. Fifty-nine (59) pounds have been donated to St. Vincent thanks to previous swaps! This extends the life of garments, keeping them out of the landfill and helps those in need. Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada operates St Vincent's Donation Drop Off in Reno, NV, offering a range of poverty assistance programs including dining room services, food pantry, immigration legal services, and housing benefits enrollment. With multiple donation drop off locations in Reno and Sparks, St Vincent's Donation Drop Off reinvests 100% of profits from donated items back into their poverty assistance programs, providing essential support to those in need in the local community.
