Novel Notions is a community book swap, held quarterly at Headrow House. The idea is simple; drop off some books that are collecting dust on your shelves and get a token per book that you pass on. Grab a filter coffee or a bite to eat downstairs, then come back and explore the wide range of books dropped off by Leeds' bookish community. Scout through forgotten classics, nab a new release and find new favourites!
