Our Melbourne Book Swap at Hector’s Deli in Fitzroy is for readers who love books but not the pressure of a traditional club. Bring along a book you’ve read and want to pass on, along with a note about why you chose it. We’ll wrap it up and add it to the swap.

While you wait, enjoy Hector’s famous sandwiches, donuts, wine, and water — and meet new people at the table. The swap happens an hour into the event, so don’t worry if you arrive a little late. It’s a simple, welcoming way to share stories and make connections.
