Barnes & Noble will donate 10 percent for up to $2,000 in sales; 15 percent for $2,000-$10,000 in sales and 20 percent for sales over $10,000.

There will also be costumed interpreters from the Ohio Historical Center on location at stores in Pickerington, Easton Town Center, Polaris Fashion Place and Lennox Town Center. The interpreters will be there as a friendly reminder to customers that a percentage of purchases can go towards benefiting the Ohio Historical Society and its sites.
Barnes & Noble has stores throughout the greater Columbus area as well as locations in Youngstown, Dayton, Cincinnati, Maumee, and Akron/Canton area. There are also stores in many states across the country and purchases at these locations can also go towards OHS.
