It's October at Open Books, and we've got a change for you! This month's newsletter features just as many events, volunteer opportunities, program updates, and other good stuff as usual, but we've broken it into headlines with links instead of our previous jam-packed style. Is the new format a treat? Or do you feel tricked and think we should go back to the old one? Let us know!
