FAQ / POLICIES
Little District Books is a queer-owned Washington, DC based independent book store that celebrates LGBTQ+ authors and stories.
Originally opening in 2022, we expanded from our original Barracks Row home to a bigger location a few blocks away, at 631 Pennsylvania Ave SE, Washington, DC 20003. We are a proud part of a neighborhood that has been a haven for the LGBTQ+ community over the last 50+ years.
