Thanks to my sister Julie for this info:
The Mailman Segal Institute for Early Childhood Studies is partnering with Barnes & Noble for an exciting book fair which will bring resources to the community while raising much needed funds for the institute’s programs for children with autism.
From May 8 – May 10, a percentage of the total net sales from the purchases of books, magazines, audio books, videos, DVDs, CDs and any cafe item will be donated to MSI’s programs for children with autism. Purchases can be made at any Barnes & Noble nationwide but a voucher must be presented so that the school receives credit for the sale (online sales are not eligible.)
