"Busboys and Poets is a community where racial and cultural connections are consciously uplifted...a place to take a deliberate pause and feed your mind, body and soul...a space for art, culture and politics to intentionally collide...we believe that by creating such a space we can inspire social change and begin to transform our community and the world."

"BOOK SELECTION CRITERIA AND REVIEW PROCESS

Q: What criteria do you use to determine which books you will carry?
A: We use a combination of criteria to determine what titles we will carry. Books must be:

1) Be in line with the mission of Teaching for Change, a non-profit organization that promotes social justice starting in the classroom. The Teaching for Change's Busboys and Poets Bookstore is Washington, DC's best source for books that encourage children and adults to question, challenge, and re-think the world beyond the headlines. We carefully select every title to ensure access to:

• Progressive politics, poetry and literature
• Young adult fiction with real-world themes
• Multicultural titles for pre-K-12 teachers and parents
• Independent publishers
• Works detailing a "people's history" - including that of African Americans, Latinos/as, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, labor activists, international populations, and women.

2) High-quality, in terms of both literary craft and the research/scholarship.

3) Books with sales potential. As a small non-profit organization, we cannot afford to stock titles that will not sell."
