Mission Statement  

Open Books was founded in 2006 to open Chicago's first nonprofit literacy bookstore: a two-storied dream where proceeds from the sale of 50,000+ used books on the fun, colorful, comfortable first floor will go to fund a spectrum of unique adult, family, and computer literacy programs upstairs. As we wait for our new building to be ready in spring 2009, we work with literacy groups around the city to help students of all ages make literacy a fun and fundamental part of their lives.

I am inspired by the mission, and look forward to seeing the bookstore come to fruition.
