The Lewis County branch of the American Association of University Women's (AAUW) annual used book three-day extravaganza got underway on Thursday.
The sale continued Friday and will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
On Saturday, attendees can take home a bag of books for $5.
Thousands of fiction and nonfiction books, audiobooks, CDs and DVDs will be on sale. Nonfiction books are separated into more than 50 categories including biography, cooking, history, religion, self-help and a large selection of children’s books.
Since the first event in 1979, the Lewis County AAUW book sale has provided thousands of area residents with the opportunity to discover and purchase books of all types at low prices.
Proceeds from the book sale support the mission of AAUW — education for women. Money from the annual sale has funded scholarships to local women attending college, as well as middle school and high school girls for summer camps focusing on STEM subjects.
The Moose Lodge is located at 1400 Grand Ave., Centralia.
Founded in 1881, AAUW is the largest and oldest national organization working for the professional and educational advancement of women.
