A book vending machine by local authors launched near the White House in May 2025 to boost access to diverse literature.
A book vending machine named LitBox launched in May 2025 near the White House in Washington, D.C., offering works by local authors, particularly those from small presses or with limited commercial reach.
Founded by writer Lauren Woods after federal arts funding cuts, the machine features titles by regional writers like Diana Rojas and Itoro Bassey, aiming to provide equitable access to literature and counteract publishing industry biases.
Inspired by European models, LitBox is housed at Western Market and has drawn public interest, hosted literary events, and been funded through a $7,000 crowdfunding campaign.
Woods plans to expand the initiative to other D.C. neighborhoods to increase access and elevate the city’s literary profile.
