After a summer of uncertainty, a huge swarm of bookworms lined up and dashed through the aisles as the AAUW Book Fair kicked off Tuesday! Residents and travelers perused thousands of books ranging from children's books to large novels of non-fiction, romance, and many more genres. There were also games, DVDs, and even sheet music. 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.
