Open air book exchanges like the Little Free Library are cute but, let's face it, not an option for unhurried browsing in the fierce Minnesota winters.
The Good Earth food co-op in Saint Cloud has a year-round, indoor book exchange every Saturday. The owner, of course, has the alterior motive to get you to shop in her store, but the book exchange is free and you don't have to be a member of the co-op to pick up and drop off a book.
There are rules, though: You must take a book for every book you bring! Sorry, you are going to have to take your donations elsewhere if you're not prepared to get something back.
Time: Every Saturday all year 11am to 2pm
Place: The Good Earth Food Co-op, 2010 8th Street North (Veterans Drive), Saint Cloud, MN.
