PICKENS COUNTY — Books at bargain prices will soon be available during the Pickens County Literacy Association’s semi-annual Used Book Sale. The two-day event will be held in the All Saints Hall of Pickens Presbyterian Church, 311 W. Main St.

The sale will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 20 and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 21. Proceeds help the PCLA continue its program of volunteer tutors helping adults improve their reading skills.

Thanks to the generosity of the PCLA’s many donors and volunteers, there will be tables filled with hard and paperback books, children’s books, cookbooks, self-help books, coffee table books and more. Audio books, CDs, DVDs, cassettes and tapes will also be on sale.

The PCLA is a nonprofit organization that trains volunteer tutors to teach reading skills to non- or low-reading adults, including those needing help reading English. If you know an adult that would benefit from this program, contact any member of the PCLA or call 878-9642.
