The Annual Used Book Sale is the main fundraiser for the Literacy Program. The money
raised during the book sale is used to pay for materials and to help provide free services to
our students. There is always a large variety of quality books at the sale. The sale is always
held in September.
How can you help?
Donate Books: We accept gently used hard back and paper back fiction and non-fiction books. We
DO NOT take text books, magazines, encyclopedias or Reader's Digest Condensed Books. Thank
you for your understanding and for your donations!
Work at the Annual Used Book Sale: In September, the Literacy Program has our Annual Used
Book Sale at Westmoreland Mall. Volunteers are needed to work at the sale to restock and straight-
en books and to work as cashiers. The sale takes place Thursday through Sunday during regular
mall hours. Volunteer shifts are scheduled for two to three hours at a time.
Book Sorter: Volunteers are needed to sort through the book donations that are collected through-
out the year. Book sorters meet Tuesdays from 1:00 - 3:00 PM (weather permitting) behind the little
strip mall by Agway (call for specific directions).
Uniontown YMCA
The first event is this Sunday and as of July 3 there are only 5 tickets left. Hurry if you want to
attend this fun event.
Here is an opportunity to help out the YMCA and get rid of those shoes lying in the back of your closet.
Bring in your gently used shoes to the Uniontown Area YMCA in garbage bags and leave them at the Welcome Desk. The YMCA will receive funds based on the volume of shoes collected and these shoes will help Micro-enterprises in Haiti, Uganda, India and more.
