Chicago's Open Book

Not exactly politics but I bet a lot of readers of this blog have libraries they think they should trim down,

Open Books will fund its literacy programs from the sale of used books in its store, and we're aiming to collect more than 50,000 of them by the time we open in spring 2008. Fiction, biography, plays, poetry, cookbooks, children's books...just about ANY book you may be willing or ready to part with will help! Here's how you can contribute books to our opening goal, one book (or one thousand) at a time.

Their site is here, and the write a blog too.
