CHICAGO – Apparel and accessories company Out of Print is collaborating with the American Library Association (ALA) for a National Library Week fundraiser and officially debuting its new Star Wars™ READ® collection.

Through April 14, Out of Print will donate 10% of all merchandise sales to ALA’s Disaster Relief Fund. The donations will support libraries in Puerto Rico as they rebuild following devastation from Hurricane Maria. ALA distributes grants on an on-going basis to libraries of all types recovering from natural disasters, both domestically and internationally.

Out of Print are also launching the Star Wars™ READ® collection. Yoda and Darth Vader tees featuring vintage ALA READ® posters designs from the 1980s and 90s as well as a brand-new Princess Leia design are available now at Out of Print.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is an annual observance by the American Library Association and libraries across the country each April. For more information about National Library Week, please visit ala.org/nlw.
