Join us for Lyndale Book Fest! Browse through a treasure trove of secondhand books without spending a dime. Whether you’re a fan of fiction or non-fiction, or looking for children’s books, there’s something for everyone. In addition to free books, there will be food from Valerie's Taqueria, children’s story time, and other family-friendly activities!
Now Collecting Books!
The Lyndale Neighborhood Association is now collecting like-new and gently used fiction, non-fiction, young adult and children’s books. We are specifically interested in books written in a language other than English or written with a diverse, multicultural lens.
We are not accepting: textbooks, encyclopedias, magazines, or newspapers. This is a family-friendly event, so please do not bring explicit or x-rated books.
