President of the nonprofit, Jackie Langhoff, said Books to Benefit will donate proceeds from their semiannual book sale to STAR Adult literacy and YouthBuild McLean County literacy programs.

“We also try to re-hone books that are of scholarly value to academic and scholarly libraries across the united states,” she said.

The semiannual sale will take place June 14-17.
