Here's some shopping for a cause this weekend - stop by Women & Children First, Chicago's feminist book store, this Saturday and Sunday August 1 and 2 for the annual Used Book Sale. Proceeds will benefit the Women's Voices Fund. The Women’s Voices Fund, a project of Women & Children First Bookstore and a grantee of the Crossroads Fund, raises money to help sustain and develop an ongoing program series focused on women’s lives, ideas, and work. This unique work which has been offered only at Women & Children first for the last twenty-five years, is crucial to guaranteeing that a wide and diverse range of women’s voices and the best voices in children’s literature continue to be heard.
While you're there, why not spend a little of this week's paycheck on a new book from the store, or sign up as a member for $25 and get discounts all year long? In this tough economy, it's the small independent businesses who are suffering the most - help keep great local companies like Women & Children First going by putting your wallet where your values are!
