Join us for an Earth Day Book Swap at our Northeast location on April 18th from 12-2pm. 

This event is FREE but you must reserve your spot with a free ticket. Each person attending the swap will receive a $5 off coupon to use on the day of the event. 

A few things to note to help make this a successful event for everyone:

• Please bring no more than 6 books per person.
• We recommend that you bring books to participate in the swap. If you do not have books to swap, that is okay.  
• Books for any age/level of reader is welcome.
• No textbooks, please.
• Any adult books left at the end of the swap will be donated to the Women's Prison Book Project.
• Any children's books left at the end of the swap will be distributed to Little Free Libraries around MSP.

This is our first time hosting a Book Swap so we appreciate your grace, patience, and honest feedback as we figure out how to host this in a way that works for our community and Tare Market. 

Have you ever wondered what happens to your trash and recycling after it's been picked up? Join a representative from Tare Market to tour the Recycling and Energy (R&E) Center and learn more about your local waste stream!

Tour Date: April 15, 2026 from 10:30-12:00pm

About: All trash generated by individuals and businesses in Ramsey and Washington counties is delivered to the R&E Center, where waste is processed to recover recyclables and make fuel for electricity production. Tours highlight how the facility works and how waste is managed in the East Metro as well as how to better reduce, reuse and recycle. 

Tour duration: Tours are typically 90 minutes. 

Location: You will meet at the Ramsey/Washington Recycling and Energy Center (R&E) Center at 100 Red Rock Rd, Newport MN 55055.

Closed-toe, flat-heel shoes or boots are required. No high heels or sandals allowed. Ankle-length pants and long-sleeved shirts are strongly recommended. A hard hat, safety glasses, and safety vest will be provided. The tour requires walking, some of which is traversing materials like paper, cardboard, or broken glass. Attendees should be prepared for noise, dust, odors, climbing stairs, and walking outdoors. 

Your tour fee of $5 helps Tare Market cover the cost of organizing this event. 

More information (plus a Tare Market coupon!) will be sent in a PDF upon purchase.
