GAYLORD — The American Association of University Women Gaylord Area Branch is sponsoring a used book sale Oct. 4-5 at the United Way Building at 116 E. Fifth St. in Gaylord.
The AAUW branch collects donated books and sorts them for the sale. Collection barrels this year are located at the Family Fare Supermarket, Meyer Ace Hardware, Oliver Chiropractic Clinic, the Gordon Food Service Store, the Otsego County Sportsplex and the United Way Building. Look for the teal-color barrels which will be at the collections sites from now through Oct. 2.
Children and young adult level books, large print editions and audio books usually peak interest in the sale. Suspense novels and how-to books are appreciated as well. The group collects fiction and non-fiction in hardback or paperback. Books, depending on age and condition, range from 25 cents on the children’s table to $6 for new hardcover and trade paperbacks. Cash and checks will be accepted.
Textbooks, magazines, Reader’s Digest Condensed books, encyclopedias and VCRs will not be accepted. Please donate smoke-free books in good condition. If you have questions, need a special or large pick-up of books, contact the AAUW branch.
The sale is from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Oct. 4 and from 9 a.m. until noon on Oct. 5. Most books are $1 a bag starting at 11 a.m. on Oct. 5. Nonprofit organizations can come at that time and gather books at no charge. Bring your own bag. AAUW donates or recycles the remaining books.
The book sale benefits go toward educational awards and programming for local girls and women.
