ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - The old Elder-Beerman at the Lima Mall is looking more like a library every day. Thursday was the last day to donate to the annual AAUW sale.
It begins with a preview night on Tuesday, September 6th with a $5 entry that gives you the first choice off the shelves. There is anything from biographies, hobbies, seasonal, sheet music, and even vinyl. Preparations take months but it is all for a good cause.
"All of the money that we raise from this book sale will go to scholarships for college girls and also to scholarships for 7th and 8th grade girls for STEM camps," explained Sue Ann Shaw, AAUW Book Fair co-chair.
The group also helps out local non-profits and organizations with books that are left over from the sale. You just need to stop in Saturday at noon. The sale runs from the day after Labor Day through Saturday, September 10th. There are different specials each day and a silent auction of specialty items. You can find out more on the AAUW Facebook page.
