The 30th annual fair begins Friday and runs through August 27, 2008. The fair benefits the YMCA’s youth and literacy programs. Through the Washington University Campus YMCA and the YMCA’s three literacy programs, hundreds of adults and children have access to free books and reading tutors.
"Without the funds raised at the annual book sale, we would have to drastically reduce the valuable programs we offer," Carolihne Mitchell, director of the YMCA literacy programs, said in a statement.
The sale begins at 4 p.m. Friday with a $10 "preview night." There is no admission for the rest of the fair, which runds 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Aug 23-27. The final day items are available for $10 a bag or box. On August 23, a free shuttle will run from the Caroldelet Y to the Kennedy center on the hour from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
