To date, this membership promotion has raised $98,079 for local bookstores. Customers also showed their support for booksellers by purchasing #SocksforBinc. With 3,000+ pairs of socks sold, Libro.fm has raised over $22,000 for the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc) so far. The promotion ends Sunday, May 3.
