Neighborhood Library Exchange

Fill out this form to volunteer or create a Library Exchange location of your own!


Discover a wonderful new read at your Neighborhood Library Exchange! All around Norwalk these special boxes contain free books for children to adults. Anyone can take home a book to enjoy (and sometimes donate a book for another friend to find as well). Happy Reading!


Please note:  Due to Covid-19 some of these library exchanges are currently on hold. A handful of these exchanges are designated children’s books only and/or are unable to accept donations.  You may always leave a note inside an exchange for its owner if unsure. Thank you!


** = Children's books only
