The Branch co-sponsors with the Atlanta and Cobb Branches an annual Book Fair the last part of September that brings in thousands of dollars which supports the AAUW Educational Foundation, the world’s largest source of funding exclusively for graduate women. Our 49th 2008 Annual Book Fair will be held from September 24 through September 28 with a preview on the 23rd from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and the sale through the 30th. It will be held at the Atlanta Perimeter Mall. For more information please contact Anna Rau-Bernhard .

All books sold at the fair are donated and all sorting, pricing and sales are accomplished by member volunteers.

A Brief History of the Bookfair:
The Branches of AAUW started holding an annual book fair in 1960. That year the fair was in a tent on the open-air upper level of the brand new Lenox Square Mall. In 1973 the book fair moved into Lenox's newly enclosed, air-conditioned mall. In 1997 the book fair became a cooperative effort of the three branches in metro Atlanta:

Atlanta Branch
Cobb County Branch
North Fulton Branch

The Branches use the proceeds to fund:
AAUW Educational Foundation
AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund
Local Undergraduate Scholarships
Community Action Grants and Programs
