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.
