This is a great video of Dave Eggers presenting to a TED conference about a new, 826-related education program to connect communities with their local public schools.
He also talks about other 826 locations and how they've taken the tutoring-center/pirate store concept in SF and mixed it up a bit. For example in NY, there's a "superhero supply company" and in LA there's the "Echo Park Time Travel Mart" - what Eggers calls "a 7-11 for time travelers." It's awesome to see the wit of those McSweeney's peeps come alive in a retail experience!
Enjoy!
