Used book sale July 25 to feature signed illustrations by Tom Lichtenheld

The Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva will hold a used book sale from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 25, on the front lawn of the church's historic building at 110 S. Second St. in downtown Geneva.

Held during one day of the Geneva Arts Fair, the sale will feature more than 1,000 lightly-used and very well-priced books of all types for all ages, ranging from fiction and children's books to biographies, cookbooks, science books, spirituality books and much more. Crafts made by local artisans will also be offered, including jewelry, photographs, garden accents and postcards.

A highlight of the sale will be a rare opportunity to purchase signed original illustrations and prints by New York Times Best-Selling children's book author/illustrator and Geneva resident Tom Lichtenheld. In addition to his artwork, a limited number of his new children's books, also signed by Lichtenheld, will be available for sale.

Proceeds from the sale will be shared with Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley, based in St. Charles, whose mission is to help individuals in the region acquire the English-language literacy skills that they need to function more effectively in contemporary society and participate fully in our community.

The Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva, established in 1842 and the oldest church in Geneva, is a diverse, welcoming community that endeavors to make its covenant a living reality. It provides religious education and opportunities for spiritual growth. They encourage individual and mutual responsibility as together we work to be a liberal religious voice in the community and a force for compassionate social justice.
