It has been a staple for avid readers in the region for years and is in jeopardy of not happening this year. The American Association of University Women (AAUW) has been looking high and low for a location for this year's book sale with no luck. The former Elder-Beerman building, where they have been for the past several years, is not an option. 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.
