Adopt-A-Book
Thank you for your interest in the Open Books Adopt-A-Book program. Below is a brief outline of the program and what happens to your donation when you decide to adopt a book.

You may adopt any book in the Open Books Library. No matter which book(s) you choose to adopt, fifty percent of your donation(s) are given back to the Arts Community in one of the following three ways:

1. When you adopt a Classic, 25% goes to The Dead Writers' Society Grant. This is an award given every year on 6 January to a living writer. The first grant will be awarded when the percentage of grant money available reaches at least $1000.

2. When you adopt a Modern or adopt a Future, 25% goes to the author. Adopting a Modern or Future title is similar to buying a print book, except the payment to the author is far higher.

3) When you adopt any book, 25% goes to the Open Books Literacy Fund. For 2008, all donations will go to the National Center of Family Literacy.

We appreciate all donations if they meet the minimum donation amount of $15.00, the average price of a trade paperback book. Adopters are listed on the cover page of the book they adopt. The amount of the donation is confidential.
