If you are like many of us who have been cooped up in our homes trying to escape the COVID-19 pandemic, then you have probably turned to reading as a way to while away the hours. Have you run out of interesting reading material? Are you ready to read a good fiction book or pursue an interest with a book on history, art, gardening, cooking, or other hobbies? Do you follow one or more authors and want to add their latest books to your collection? Then, the 41st annual Lewis County AAUW Book Sale is coming to your rescue to chase away your doldrums and boredom with thousands of fiction, nonfiction, DVDs and CDs available at bargain prices!

Hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Separate rooms will house varieties of books: including a room for children’s books. Prices are reduced each day culminating in a $2 charge on Saturday for a bag of books! Here is the chance to refresh your bookshelf!
