Welcome to the Lexington Tree Week Book Swap! Join us for a fun Tree Week event where book lovers come together to trade books. Bring your gently used books and swap them for new literary treasures. Fiction, non-fiction and kids books--anything that celebrates or explores trees and nature is welcome! Let's promote reading and sustainability by giving books a new life.

Here at the library, we provide a range of programs, services, and online resources that support academic enrichment and help students and educators prep for success.

Starting your own business or nonprofit is hard work, but we can help you locate the tools you need to get your ideas off the ground.

When you log into many of our services, you'll be asked to provide a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in addition to your library card number.  Your default PIN is typically the last 4 digits of the phone number on file for your account.
