The McLean Branch of the American Association of
University (AAUW) extends its appreciation to the McLean Area Community for its
support of the Annual Used Book Sales. The 44th AAUW Annual Used
Book Sale will be held at the McLean Community Center, Friday September 20 from
9 am to 7 pm; Saturday, September 21 from 10 am to 6 pm and, Sunday, September
22 from noon to 4 pm.  We look forward to
seeing you, your family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors at this annual
event at the MCC.



The Friday through
Sunday, September 20-22, 2013 AAUW Book Sale is amazingly well stocked with
tens of thousands of  books plus hundreds
of musical CDs as well as DVDs of television series and movies.   Recent editions of histories, including many
military histories, biographies, political analyses, as well as gardening,
health, general literature and business and economics books are abundant.  All travel books have been published between
2009 and 2013.  Of course, not to be
missed is a terrific assortment of treasured collectibles and special art
books, a huge and very complete collection of mystery stories, lots of
children’s and general interest adult books.

The McLean Area AAUW is
deeply grateful for the ongoing support of the SunTrust Bank East Vienna which
has provided facilities to allow AAUW volunteers to spend thousands of hours
receiving, sorting and temporarily storing the more than 1500 boxes of books,
CDs and DVDs received this year and also thanks the McLean Community Center.



This year there is more
need than ever for educational funds for deserving women and girls, so bring
lots of cash to snap up incredible bargains for CDs, DVD collections,  for hardbacks, for paperbacks and for children’s
books! You can easily find just the items you want because the many thousands
of individual books and CDs and DVDs have been so well sorted and will be
displayed in clearly labeled and logical categories.  A bonus for attendees will be the raffling of
special baskets.  The McLean Area AAUW
Used Book Sale will be at the McLean Community Center, 1234 Ingleside Avenue on
Friday September 20, 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday
noon to 4 p.m. entire bags of books will be sold at huge discounts by the bag.

Funds raised last year from the 43rd
Annual Used Book Sale, contributed both to local scholarships and also to
national AAUW efforts.  Nationwide, the
165,000 member organization of AAUW awarded $4.3 million dollars in
fellowships, grants, research projects, legal advocacy, and leadership training
for women and girls.  The Community
support and the thousands of hours of volunteer labor donated by the Branch members
and the facilities donated by the Vienna Sun Trust Bank resulted in the McLean
Area Branch of AAUW  being recognized nationally
and State-wide for outstanding achievement in fund raising.
