Workers on Monday removed Borders signage from its flagship store on East Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor.
The owners of the building are donating the letters to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation for the purpose of raising funds.
The letters are believed to be some of the last remaining Borders signage, as many other locations have been stripped since the bookseller's bankruptcy.
