The Association of Legal Administrators, Metropolitan Detroit Chapter, will host its first ever “Book Swap” event on Wednesday, May 14, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Griffin Claw Brewery, 575 S. Eton St. in Birmingham.

All are welcome to bring a book (nothing related to the legal field) and a friend. Books can be new or used—just something attendees are excited to share with others.  Appetizers will be provided, and each attendee will receive a bookmark created from a local artist.

There is no cost to attend but registration is requested to reserve enough space. To register, visit https://aladetroit.org.
