Hi, I’m Megan, the owner of People’s Book, an independent bookstore voted Washington City Paper’s Best in DC. I’m also the mom of two young kiddos, and a former teacher and reading coach in DC.
My favorite thing to do is find the right book for the right kid at the right time. That’s why I’m launching our first ever children’s book subscription program where you can expect 1-2 high quality books delivered to you (or a child you love!) for $20 per month. The perfect gift for a birthday, baby shower… or just because!

We want to preserve affordable housing in our wonderful but increasingly unaffordable neighborhood – and make it possible for regular people to be able to purchase a home here for decades to come.
The Tenant Association at 1845 Summit Pl NW is exercising our rights from the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA), a unique DC law that gives us the chance to buy our 88-unit building. Together, we decided to turn our building into an innovative model of affordable housing: a limited-equity co-op. This keeps units affordable forever, a critical intervention in our diverse and increasingly unaffordable neighborhood.
