Books to Benefit, a nonprofit that holds semi-annual book sales to raise money for local literacy programs, announced a gift of $5,000 to STAR Adult Literacy  and $2,000 to YouthBuild Literacy.

The gifts were made possible by a successful used book sale in June that enjoyed strong public support despite lingering COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

Now, Books to Benefit is preparing for its next sale Nov. 4-6. 

In-person donations may be made Wednesdays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 360 Wylie Drive, Suite 700. Dropboxes are available at Wylie Dr., the YWCA on Hershey, and the Wesley United Methodist Church on Front St. in Bloomington.
