"Open Books, West Loop Fulton Market. Open Books is one of my favorite NFP organizations in Chicago and happens to be the only library in the West Loop. They sell used books and the proceeds go to inspiring programs to promote literacy. There is an entire back room dedicated to kids and they often have book readings. The space has a lot of character and the people who work there love what they do - it is a really special place!"
