Buy Books to Build Home Libraries for Under-Resourced Chicago Children.

• With schools and libraries currently closed, and with Chicago Public Schools encouraging independent reading time, building at home libraries is vital to children’s success now more than ever.
• 61% of low-income families have no books at all in their homes for children.
• Approximately 1 in 3 students on the South and West Sides of Chicago lack broadband access to participate in virtual learning.
• Every book that you buy from this list will be distributed to Chicago kids in under-resourced communities via CPS meal distribution and community partners. Simply place the order and the book will be shipped to Open Books for distribution.
• All proceeds benefit our Book Granting program to get even more books into kids’ hands.
• Two different ways to donate–choose the option that moves you most.
