Literary Symbiosis in Lititz, PA

Aaron’s Book Corner in Lititz, PA, has announced that it’s teaming up with the Lititz Public Library to sponsor the first “Lititz Loves Reading” week. Events from October 20 – 26 include author appearances, library fundraisers, and an all-night “Read-a-Thon.”

Happenings at Aaron’s include a discussion of the Lititz One Book One Community selection, The Grace That Keeps This World by Tom Bailey (Three Rivers), and an appearance by local author Jill Althouse-Wood (Summers at Blue Lake, Algonquin). The weeklong celebration culminates in a Read-a-Thon on October 25.

“Lititz Loves Reading” week is inspired by a national program, Great Expectations 2008, founded by RiverRun Bookstore in Portsmouth, NH. For the week, Aaron’s customers will be able to support the mission of Lititz Public Library in two ways. First, for any customer presenting a Lititz library card while shopping at Aaron’s Books, 10 percent of the purchase price will be donated to the library. Second, the library is supplying Aaron’s Books with a “wish list” of most wanted books, and supporters can buy a book for the library through Aaron’s Books at 25 percent below retail price.
