From 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. today, 25 percent of all sales at downtown Evanston’s , 930 Church St., will go toward "Library Renovation Project" -- so long as customers mention the school while placing their order.

Jenny Blickenstaff, co-president of the Washington PTA, said the money will help update the school’s current library space by paying for new furniture, lighting and shelving, improving the book collection and purchasing various digital literacy tools.
