In spring 2009, Open Books will open its flagship store: over 50,000 used books in a fun, funky, colorful, and comfortable Chicago environment complete with a fake fireplace, ancestral oil paintings, a suit of armor, a multitude of birdcages, a constellation of twinkling lights, a children's area furnished with giant foam books, and lots of secret seats just big enough for you and a book hidden in among the shelves. There will be also be a cafe and a gift section, and proceeds from every book, cup of coffee, baked good, and other item sold will go to fund literacy programs in our classrooms and computer center.

In fall 2008, we'll reveal our new location and all the details of our opening. To make sure you don't miss a thing, sign up for our email list!
