Tucked conveniently in the Exhibits Hall near the food vendors, the Freebies Lounge is your go-to spot for free books, magazines, and swag—all yours for the taking!
What’s Inside?
Every day, we’ll be restocking a wide variety of speculative fiction titles. Whether you’re here to browse, meet authors, or just kick back and read or write, this is your space to relax and discover.
Got Books to Share?
We love donations! Bring your books during open hours and:
- Hand them to a staff member!

- Place them directly on a shelf!
We also welcome small items like flyers, cards, ribbons, and stickers.
