DC’s First Worker Owned Bookstore

Bol is a project rooted in a vision: worker ownership, free exchange of ideas, and political empowerment. We have a large and growing collection of new and used books for purchase, from history to poetry to speculative fiction. We have presented events on Afghanistan under the Taliban, gentrification and displacement in DC, and the transformative power of science fiction jazz.

Please do visit us to browse our collection, buy a book or three, have a good conversation, and also try some coffee and pastries from Creative Grounds, the coffee shop where we are currently stationed.

Our hours are Mon-Sun 8am-5pm and we are located at 1822 N Capitol St NW
