The Second Life of a Book

Haven’t you even received a wrong gift? 
Haven’t you even made a thoughtless buy? 
Don’t you have a book that you grewn out of or which simply bores you? 
You can not let he book lost its magical power!

My advice? Find it a new owner !

     The solution that I propose you is a project of the Krakow Festival Office. It’s a unique action, great free book exchange that is a real find for litterature’s lovers. The rules of participation in the exchange are simple: just bring one to ten books, but … attention …. they must be in good condition! Who will bring a book published before 1995, will be able to exchange them only for other book published before 1995.  These who bring a new book (published after 1995) - can choose any book they want (older or newer). The Second Life of a Books is still developping and is getting more and more interest. Last year, nearly 3 500 inhabitants of Krakow took part in this event exchanging almost 16 000 books, what maked it the biggest book-action so far.


Does your bookshelf need cleaning out?
  If yes, you know what to do ;)




and a wise thought at the end:
You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
