If something involves books, reading, writing, or literacy, we'd love to make it an Open Books EVENT! Are you organizing a book sale, bookswap, book club, writing group, story hour, or any other book/reading-themed event we can help with? Wonderful! Just let us know what you have in mind and how we can work together.

Here's what we've got coming up. Join us!


Pitchfork!

Pitchfork Music Festival
18-20 July 2008

The Pitchfork Music Festival is a three-day event showcasing over 40 of independent music’s best bands and artists on three stages. It's a reasonably priced summer music festival that provides an overwhelmingly positive, comfortable and fun festival experience for both attendees and musicians...and although it sells out fast, you can attend for free AND help Open Books raise money for our literacy programs by volunteering!

Want to help us out? Fantastic! Sign up here!
