The actual sale starts on April 20, and runs for four days. I'll have a post about that as the date approaches.
This is a rite of Spring in Bethlehem. Linda Robertson tells me that AAUW expects to handle 50,000 books this year for their 55th annual sale. Proceeds help fund scholarships for area high school students as well as a "Let's Read - Math" program in area elementary schools.
Last year, $40,000 was raised. When I lived in Bethlehem, I was there every year. There are some very good deals. Agent 99 often visited that sale as well, if memory serves.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
