Actually, there are a number of children who go to the Green Lake English corner on Thursday nights. The children often talk with each other in English and sometimes interact with the foreigners/English speaking locals.

You can exchange books at the Vintage Cafe (Wen Lin Jie) and at the Silver Spoon (Beichen Pedestrian Walkway). I know the owners of both places and the Junction (Beijing Lu) should you want to set up some kind of book swapping meeting. They did do a book exchange at As You Like for a while (people just organized to get together and exchange books once a month).

The Silver Spoon has changed management/owners so they may be closed for a bit. I wasn't sure when they were going to make the change, but apparently, now's the time. The Book Nook will still be located there in the future. DenLee - Yes, the Book Exchange books are in the Vintage Cafe.
