Book Fair Benefits Sexual Assault Resource Agency

November 24, 2012

Holiday shoppers stopped by Barnes & Noble in the Barracks Road Shopping Center Saturday to help out a charity book fair.

The fair, hosted by Charlottesville High School, is benefiting the Sexual Assault Resource Agency.

The fair featured story time for kids in the morning, a special appearance by a local author and free gift wrapping all day.

Ten volunteers from SARA helped out and said they're happy to get out in the community to remind people of the resources available for what they call the taboo topic of sexual assault.
