The Pickens County Literacy Association is gearing up for their Fall Book Sale and they're collecting donations from the community.

The Fall Book Sale is set for 9am – 7pm Friday, November 16 and 9am – 1pm Saturday, November 17 and will be held in the All Saints Hall of the Pickens Presbyterian Church.

The sale will feature hardbacks, paperbacks, classics, children's books, cassettes, CDs , tapes and much more, all at “great low, low, low prices,” according to PCLA Director Everette Curl.

All proceeds from the sale go to the Pickens County Literacy Association, helps non-readers and low readers develop their reading and writing skills.

The Pickens County Literacy Association does not charge any of its reading and writing students, but the materials needed to teach them are expensive, which is why the book sales, held twice a year, are so important to the association.

Curl said she hopes the November sale will draw a large turnout of book and bargain lovers.
