The Open Books
NaNoWriMo
Virtual Book Drive
2008

Wonderful ChiWriMos! How can you help spread the joy of reading, writing, books, and learning throughout our fair city? How can you influence the growth of a book-loving audience who will someday buy your incredible novels? How can you do your bit to ensure that Open Books will be able to provide fun programs like the Write-Ins in future years?

And how, more seriously, can you make a difference in the life of a child or adult who may never have learned to read, and whose job skills and quality of life have suffered as a result?

Easy! Fun!
