Anne Arundel County Literacy Council to Hold 5th-Annual Book Fair at Annapolis Mall September 27

The fair will feature 1,000s of gently used books, including children’s books, cookbooks, bestsellers, romance novels, memoirs, mysteries, thrillers, historical fiction, and more. Books will be priced at $2 for hardbacks and $1 for paperbacks. Shoppers can fill a special edition Literacy Council tote bag with books for $25. PayPal, credit cards, checks, and cash will be accepted. Also at the book fair: gift basket raffles, featuring restaurant and local shopping gift cards, fine wine selections, and other goodies.

In collaboration with the Literacy Council, Discoveries: The Library at the Mall will offer a children’s book reading at noon by Old Fox Books owner, J. Lynwood Holmes. She will read “Copernicus,” her story of a traveling bookstore mouse. From 2 to 4 pm, the library will host a local author fair.

Proceeds from the fair will support the Council’s free adult tutoring programs in Anne Arundel County.
