Book sale proceeds fund local grants and scholarships that assist women and girls.

Cash, checks and major credit cards will be accepted. Parking is free. This event is a major recycling effort, starting with accepting book donations that might have otherwise been headed for the landfill, and ending with shoppers bringing their own cloth shopping bags.
