Hey teens! The North Oak Branch is having a teen Swap Party on Monday, June 11 at 7:00 pm. This should be great fun. Bring your books, games, or whatever you think someone might want and swap it for something new for you. Swaps are permanent, so be sure the items you bring to trade are yours and okay for you to swap. This should be an interesting evening. As in garage sales that your parents have, remember, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
