Open Books is a nonprofit, all volunteer bookstore. All proceeds from book sales go to support our prison book project which sends free books to prisoners throughout the state of Florida.
We seek volunteers to help out in the store. We are open 7 days a week, 12 to 5pm. We also seek volunteers to help us pack books to mail to prisoners. We do that on Wednesday and Thursday nights, 6 to 8pm.
