From a press release:

“Little District Books, on Barrack’s Row in Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C. opened in June 2022. A dream business for owner Patrick Kern, a 10-year resident of the greater Washington D.C. area.

The first six months showed us that the community was looking for a space like ours. The expansion has occurred earlier than planned. We were able to do a lot with our initial 300 sq. foot of retail, but there was also a lot we weren’t able to do. The new space will allow us to grow more with our book clubs, author events, and private events as well. Read More

From a press release:

“Little District Books opened June 17th, 2022. A dream business for owner Patrick Kern, a 10-year resident of the greater Washington D.C. area. 

“I wanted to create the bookstore I needed when I was younger,” said Kern, explaining that while many indie bookstores carry titles by queer authors, they might only carry one or two titles from a particular author, and they can be hard to locate among the thousands of other books.” As an example, he pointed out writers like T.J. Klune and V.E. Schwab, both authors with recently famous titles, but who also have large catalogs of great stories most people don’t know about. Read More
