The book sale is important to the community as money raised will go toward college scholarships for area girls, a tradition since 1957. This year, AAUW presented 14 scholarships of $1,500 each. The book fair is a Lima staple, and organizers are happy to bring it back another year especially after worrying if a location was available.

They are now looking for a large open space of 10,000 to 15,000 square feet to house the sale, which would be available from June through mid-September.

The American Association of University Women has started collecting books for their upcoming fair. All proceeds from the event will go towards scholarships for young women in Allen County. Organizers say that the fair is important in order to assist young minds who are entering college as well as those who are currently in college.
The Lima branch of the American Association for University Women kicked off their book fair this afternoon at the previous Elder Beerman store.
