Open Books is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization that is dedicated to promoting literacy and providing access to books for under-resourced children in the city. Through their various programs and initiatives, they aim to address the lack of diversity in children's literature and foster a love of reading among young students. Open Books collects used books, grants them to students and educators, and sells them in their bookstores to fund their literacy programs, which serve thousands of students each year.
With a focus on engaging volunteers and partnering with educators, Open Books creates safe learning environments and delivers innovative instruction to improve students' reading and writing skills. Their mission is to transform lives through the power of reading, writing, and the giving of used books, ultimately empowering children and families in Chicago to succeed academically and beyond.
