Book vending machine company that sells books exclusively by living DC-area authors, from novels and story collections to poetry, essays, and picture books.
Washington may be a political town, but it is also a proud literary one. LitBox is a book vending machine company that sells books exclusively by living DC-area authors, from novels and story collections to poetry, essays, and picture books. LitBox has two locations: at Western Market in Foggy Bottom and The Roost near Capitol Hill/Hill East.
Located in food courts off the Foggy Bottom and Potomac Avenue metro stations, LitBox is an enjoyable spot for book-loving and hungry residents and visitors. Titles from major publishers sit right alongside award-winning small-press books, so attendees can find something they wouldn’t find as easily in other bookstores. Many of the books we carry are inspired by local DC places and people.
Planning a group outing? LitBox’s founder, award-winning author Lauren Woods, can work with you on author events, curated book selections for gifts or welcome bags, or you can simply include LitBox as a stop on a local DC walking tour. Every book you buy supports a local writer and keeps your event dollars in the DC community.
