GO GREEN – 2 easy different ways
Hello Friends of Open Books!
As the leaves turn from green to yellow, orange and red this spectacular Fall season, we ask you to NOT forget the importance of being eco-friendly and green in your own lives.
Lucky for you Open Books has two very EASY ways to help the environment and our organization, and to help out a friend of Open Books as she launches her conscientious and fashionable couture line. See details for both below!
NEXT SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26th! WHAT’S GREEN AND READ ALL OVER?
The Great American Book Drive!
Presented by Open Books and Better World Books
Are your bookshelves bursting at the seams?
Do you have books you’d like to donate to a good cause?
Let Open Books find your used books a new home.
When Sunday October 26th
Time 10 am – 4 pm
Where 213 W. Institute Place, Chicago IL 60610
BRING YOUR BOOKS
This will be a drive-through book drive event! Drop off your books without even getting out of your car. A large percent of the profits from their sale will fund reading programs in the local Chicago community. It’s about literacy, not landfill.
HAVE YOUR BOOKS PICKED UP
Zipcar, an official sponsor of the Great American Book Drive, will send a fleet into the Chicago area to pick up books from your home.
Sign up for your donation pickup at www.open-books.org/gabd
VOLUNTEER
Open Books is looking for people to help unload books, sort books, box books, be greeters and much more!
For more information and to sign up to volunteer, visit www.open-books.org/gabd
This event is proudly sponsored by: Zipcar, Sittercity and Whole Foods
WINTER IS NEARLY HERE! Dreading It? Don’t!
Embrace it with a NEW eco-friendly and stylish winter coat!
Vaute Couture is the exciting new venture of the amazing, and Open Books friend, Leanne! She is asking for all of our help!
Please click to visit her web site , www.VauteCouture.com/Finalists, and vote for which beautiful winter coats you think she should design and then have made, for us to purchase and wear and enjoy! The snow will be falling before we know it. As tempting as it is to stay in ALL winter long reading, we must go out in the elements sometime, right?!
