A Lewis County museum is holding a fundraiser, thanks to a generous donation.

The American Museum of Glass in Weston recently received a donation of thousands of books.

The donation includes books about glass and glasswork which the museum has added to its library.

It's selling the rest of the collection to offset its operating costs.

"Repairs, utilities, we buy books to sell in our library, and anything that we need here at the museum. Things pop up all the time," said worker Sharon Pickens.

The sale will continue until December 15.

Pickens said the museum will donate any leftover books to other groups.

For more information, contact the museum at (304) 269-5006.
