book swap

Reader's trading post

A book swap is an exchange where people trade books they've finished reading for ones they haven't.

This can be an organized event or an informal arrangement among friends: The library hosts a monthly book swap.

Little Free Libraries and similar public shelves operate on a loose book swap principle—take one, leave one.
