[438] Organization needs donated books, DVDs for MTSU scholarship fundraiser


MURFREESBORO — Great deals on books, DVDs, tapes and records will be available at a scholarship fundraiser at MTSU.

The Murfreesboro chapter of the American Association of University Women, or AAUW, will accept donations from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 22, and Saturday, March 29, at MTSU’s Lyon Hall.

The items will be up for grabs at the chapter’s annual book sale from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 7-9 in the first-floor lobby of MTSU’s McWherter Learning Resources Center.

Hardbacks and DVDs will cost $2 each, and paperbacks, tapes and records will cost $1 each.

All proceeds will fund the Ruth Houston Memorial Scholarship, a $1,000 stipend that is awarded to an MTSU student each semester.

“AAUW Murfreesboro has been awarding scholarships to MTSU students since the 1960s,” said Dr. Ayne Cantrell, AAUW member and MTSU professor emerita. “The book sale is our only fundraiser for the scholarship.”

For more information, contact Cathy Crabtree, adjunct professor of history at MTSU and book sale coordinator, at cathy.crabtree@mtsu.edu.
