[EMEA] GumGum Office Book Swaps - World Read a Book Day

Hey GumGum EMEA! In celebration of Read a Book Day,  we want to host the first-ever GumGum Book Swap. 

Visit your GumGum office and swap your favorite book with another Gummer, you never know, you might learn something new! 

The book exchange will take place at lunch time, with some finger food, so you can enjoy the books and not get too distracted by the food. 

All book titles will go into a hat, at the end of the day, one book title will be drawn out of the hat and the person with that book will win a £25 / 25 EUR book store voucher!

 

INSTRUCTIONS

How to get involved? You are invited to an In-Office Book Swap! ✨This book swap will also include food and the potential to win a book voucher! 🎉 Share your love for reading, whilst initiating inspiring conversations and learning new things about one another. 😁 Remember, a book is an extension of who you are.
