Ice Cream Social & Free Book Exchange

Our Ice Cream Social & Free Book Exchange is a beloved ongoing series at Atherton Library, bringing the community, especially kids, together over sweet treats and great reads.

In the summer, visitors enjoy free ice cream while swapping books and connecting with fellow readers in a welcoming atmosphere. In the winter, we swap ice cream for hot cocoa.
