The Great American Book Drive

Open Books is Chicago’s first nonprofit literacy bookstore. As we work on our new location we are currently busy collecting used books, raising awareness about illiteracy and improving reading skills throughout the city. To help us do that and in partnership with better world books we are holding The Great American Book Drive.

Sunday October 26th from 10am-4pm
213 W. Institute Place
Chicago, IL 60610

You can donate books without even getting out of your car. Our volunteers will unload your books and process your donation while you wait. All of the proceeds will go towards funding literacy programs for children and adults in the Chicago area. We’ll be saving your old books from ending up in landfills and sending them to people who will enjoy reading them as much as you have.

Don’t have a way to get to us? Open Books is also offering book pickups at your home.
