AACLC Book Fair

Annual Fundraising Event

A Fabulous Book Fair — Thank You!

Our September 28 book fair was a huge success!

More than 50 volunteers made the event possible, and at least 75 households, neighborhoods, and other groups donated gently used fiction and nonfiction. We sold thousands of books, raising much-needed funds for our free adult tutoring programs.

All of us enjoyed spending time with tutors, volunteers, and students. Holding the event at the mall attracted more support than ever, and we were pleased to promote our mission and services in such a central, well-trafficked location and through local media.

This year, we partnered with Discoveries: The Library at the Mall and children’s author Julia Inserro to offer a children’s reading and activity in the afternoon. Many thanks to Julia and Discoveries.

After the event, we donate the remaining books. This year, they will go to Books for International Goodwill in Annapolis (BIG), children and families through the Anne Arundel County NAACP, and local Little Free Libraries.

Thank you for supporting our book fair and adult tutoring programs!

Please look forward to another book fair in the fall of 2025. For information on how to support us before then, visit our volunteer page or donate.
