Book Sale Updates
The AAUW State College Used Book Sale, originally scheduled for May 9-12, 2020 at the Penn State Snider Ag Arena has been postponed until further notice.
We are working to reschedule the event for later this year because we know that this is an important community event that people look forward to all year. We are eager to find new homes for the 3,100+ boxes of books in our workshop. In addition, this is our primary yearly fundraiser, with proceeds going to scholarships for women and community grants that advance equity for women and girls.
Book sale donations for the 2021 sale are closed. For updates on the sale and book donations, click here or email info@aauwstatecollege.org for updates.
Advocating for Education, Leadership & Equity for Women & Girls
AAUW’s Nationwide women’s advocacy network opens doors for women and girls and influences public debate on critical social issues such as education, civil rights, and workplace equity.
AAUW publishes groundbreaking research on women and girls, is one of the world’s largest resources of funding exclusively for graduate women, and fights sex discrimination in all levels of education.
The State College branch of AAUW was founded in 1916 and has approximately 150 members who continually seek ways to work toward improving the lives of all women. Our State College branch has a long history of leadership and community service.
Equity

A gap exists at all levels of work in almost every occupation. There is a gender pay gap in every state. It cuts across all age groups and demographics, significantly for women of color. The gap greets a woman as soon as she gets out of college and grows wider …
Leadership

Women still lag far behind men when it comes to leadership roles. They remain significantly under-represented at the highest rungs of almost every field: corporate, government, nonprofit, education, law, medicine, finance and banking, and the military.
Education

From preschool through high school, most children encounter some degree of “gender tracking,” stereotypes, and expectations that can set them on a lifelong path. Tracking in early education helps account for why so many professional women are still making less.
STEM
SCHOLARSHIPS
GRANTS
For nearly sixty years, we have organized one of the largest used book sales in the country. Income from the sale funds grants that support projects of Centre County non-profits that align with AAUW’s mission and scholarships awarded as well as women undergraduates residing in Centre County. Sale proceeds also support national AAUW initiatives, STEM programs in Centre County, and our branch operations. AAUW State College has been a powerful force for advancing gender equity for women and girls in our community through advocacy, education, and research for over one hundred years.
