Since first opening our doors in 1873, we've served all Chicagoans with free and open places to gather, learn, connect, read and be transformed. We welcome and support all people in their enjoyment of reading and lifelong learning. Working together, we strive to provide equal access to information, ideas and knowledge through books, programs and other resources. We believe in the freedom to read, to learn, to discover. Our events include author readings and talks.

SubText is a general interest bookstore with special focus on fiction, poetry, history, and literary non-fiction. Events include author talks, readings, and book signings.
