From May 17 to 20, join the American Association of University Women-State College for their 63rd annual used book sale at the Penn State Snider Ag Arena in State College. This event features an impressive 150,000 books, all generously donated by community members, making it one of the largest book sales in the country.
The sale runs daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., closing at 7 p.m. on May 20. Books are individually priced and sorted into 30 categories, ensuring you’ll find something that piques your interest. Don’t miss Half Price Day on May 19, and finish off with Bag Day on May 20, where you can fill a bag for just $10. Best of all, there is no admission fee and parking is free!
Proceeds from the sale support local grants and scholarships that empower women and girls in the community. The impact of such initiatives is significant; according to a report by the National Center for Education Statistics, women earned 56% of bachelor’s degrees in 2021. Programs like those funded by this sale help keep that momentum going.
