The Frisian Book Week, Frisian Book Month and Swalk were annual events for the promotion of Frisian literature. Until 2009, they were organised by 'Stichting It Fryske Boek' (Foundation The Frisian Book). From 2010 until 2016 all festivities were organised by Tresoar, the Frisian History and Literature Center. During these events buyers of Frisian books got a book gift for free.

From 2004 until 2016 this book gift was valid as a public transport dayrover in the province of Friesland and some parts of the province of Groningen. Since 2013 a special book for children, which could be bought for a small amount, was also valid.
