THE YEAR IN REVIEW
“Think you know Open Books?”
wrote one of our longest-
standing supporters in 2015. “Look again.” As always, we spent the year
collecting books, working with students, forming partnerships, learning
from volunteers, and transforming lives through literacy. But 2014-15
was also a year of big experiments and disruptive achievements — not
only for Open Books, but for the field of literacy as a whole.

2014 - 2015
the details of what happened, who made it possible, and all the things
we had cause to celebrate in this most bold and adventuresome year.
In September 2014, we received
incredible news: StoryPort, our online
creative writing platform for students,
was one of only 7 startup projects
accepted to the prestigious Impact
Engine accelerator at 1871. Open Books
Director of Social Enterprise Dustin
Walsh became CEO of a newly formed
corporation, Hooray Learning, and
presented it to more than 300 investors
when the program was over. With
$250,000 in venture capital acquired as
a result of that pitch, he has been
building the company and spreading the
love of writing nationwide. Follow along

Open Books is a majority shareholder in
Hooray Learning and will benefit from its success.

OPEN BOOKS BUDDIES pairs elementary students with trained, supportive mentors for twice-weekly
sessions that help boost reading skills, fluency, and comprehension. The Big Buddy’s job is to be a coach
and role model whose love of books is contagious — and maybe even life-changing — for the Little Buddy.

ADVENTURES IN CREATIVE WRITING field trips are unforgettable 2-hour experiences where 3rd-12th
graders write and perform prose, poetry, and slam poetry about their lives. Students go home with a
book of their choice from the award-winning Open Books store, and in about a month they receive
published copies of the entire class’s work to keep and share.

then publishes the students’ polished work into a group anthology and celebrates the newly minted
writers at a gala author launch in our award-winning bookstore.
At OPEN BOOKS PUBLISHING ACADEMY, aspiring teen writers from across the city take part in a
magical experience… writing and publishing their very own novels! Over the summer, students bring their
imagination to life by working through the entire publishing process, from initial draft to polished prose.
Students’ final novels are unveiled at special gala book launches in the award-winning Open Books store.

major move ever. Saying farewell to our
original River North store, we brought
50,000 books (plus two classrooms,
our offices, and the majority of our team)
to the brand-new Literacenter,
and settled into our new home:
BEST HIDDEN BOOKSTORE
