Thank you! 2025 Used Book & Media Sale Wrap-Up

Thousands of books arranged in categories on tables in a school gymnasium. Dozens of shoppers browsing and selecting books.

Thank you for making the 2025 AAUW Naperville Area Used Book & Media Sale a success! Sale chairs Kath Camasto, Anne Swanson and Lee Eastman organized a fantastic event. They even pivoted to move the whole event to a new location with only four weeks’ notice.

An event like this takes a community. Special thanks to:

  • Anderson’s Bookshop
  • Community donors
  • First Look shoppers
  • Knox Presbyterian Church
  • Naperville School Dist. 203 staff
  • Open Books, Chicago
  • Sourcebooks
  • Student workers
  • Tom Zimmerman
  • Trader Joe’s
  • Ultimate Treasures
  • Volunteers

The sale raised funds for research, education (scholarships, fellowships) and advocacy for women and girls. In addition, educators received special discounts on Educators’ Appreciation Night, and charities received hundreds of boxes of free books at the end of the sale.
