Classicists of Chicago, this one is for you. Host a good old-fashioned book drive to support literacy.

Find out how you and your colleagues can support literacy...without ever leaving your desks.

For each Virtual Book Drive, we set up a special branded Web page with bookshelf graphics and Donate buttons set to the amount you choose per "book." Your employees visit the page and donate online, and we add a book graphic to the shelf and put their donations straight to work on our mission of literacy

Show your commitment to the community and spread the joy of reading to your employees and customers with our take-one-leave-one bookshelves.

Based on the traditional 'take one leave one' model of book-sharing love, Open Bookshelves are sturdy bookcases full of books from our donated collection. We'll cheerfully install one at your company's office, then return at regular intervals to refresh the shelves and replace the titles. An Open Bookshelf is perfect for an office lounge, lobby or waiting area! It's an easy way to showcase your commitment to the community and spread the joy of reading to your employees and customers.

Some of your colleagues have books they don't want. Some want books they don't have. Benefit literacy and help everyone with a Book Swap!

Book Swaps are fabulous events where attendees bring used books they no longer need and swap them for ones they'd rather have. At the end of the event, we put the collected entrance fees and leftover books back into our literacy programs.
