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.

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.

The Community Collections consist of objects shared from local community residents and organizations. Individuals have lent items of local significance to the library to give the larger community awareness and access. The original objects are not owned by the Lexington Public Library. 
 
Submissions for the Community Collections are open. If you are an individual or organization interested in possibly lending items to be digitized by the library, please contact elibrarian@lexpublib.org. We consider item age, location, content, relevance, privacy considerations, and item condition when determining items to add. Content donors must be the legal copyright holders if the item is not in the public domain.
