The Anne Arundel County Literacy Council (AACLC) will host a fundraiser book fair on Saturday, October 16 from 11 am to 3 pm.

The book fair will take place outside Discoveries: The Library at the Mall at the Crate & Barrel Court in Annapolis Mall. Westfield Annapolis Mall generously donated space and marketing support for the event.

Information about the book fair is available at the Literacy Council’s website: www.icanread.org. The fair will feature a range of gently used books including children’s books, cookbooks, bestsellers, romance novels, memoirs, mysteries, thrillers, historical fiction, and much more. Books will be priced $2 for hardbacks and $1 for paperbacks, with bundled book offerings at special prices. Shoppers will have the option of filling a special edition Literacy Council tote bag with books for $20. PayPal, credit cards, check, and cash will be accepted.
