Annual Fundraising Event

Save the Date

Our fourth-annual fundraiser BOOK FAIR will be on Saturday, September 28, at Westfield Annapolis Mall. The mall kindly donates its Community Room and Crate & Barrel Court space for this wonderful event.

We’ll share news on book donations, sponsorships, and plans soon.

If you’d like to join our book fair team — we need even more volunteers as the event grows and grows — please be on the lookout for detailed sign-up opportunities coming via email this spring.

We will form a book fair planning committee in the weeks ahead. Let us know if you’d like to be part of the fun leading up to September 28!

Thank you for Supporting Local Adult Literacy in 2023!

Our third-annual fundraiser BOOK FAIR was held on Saturday, September 30, at Westfield Annapolis Mall. Many thanks to the mall for donating its Community Room and Crate & Barrel Court space for this fun event. Discoveries: The Library at the Mall partnered with us, and Chic fil A Annapolis Mall surprised our volunteers with a generous free lunch.
The community came out in huge support! We sold hundreds of books in a wide variety of genres, fiction and nonfiction.

Our raffles were a hit — thank you to our in-kind donors who made five wonderful gift baskets possible.

The money we raised means we can help low-income adults pursue their goals in literacy, math, diploma studies, ESL learning, and more. Our students receive free assessments, tutoring, and materials to help them achieve their educational goals.

A tremendous team effort and lots of community support made this event a success! More than 40 volunteers prepared for and put on the book fair; 70+ households, neighborhoods, and other groups donated books; and 16 sponsors or in-kind donors supported us. Thank you!

Thank you to County Executive Steuart Pittman and Councilwoman Lisa Rodvien for joining us at the book fair.
