Busboys and Poets Books, operated
by Teaching for Change, is Washington, DC area's best source for
books and films that encourage children and adults to question,
challenge and re-think the world beyond the headlines. The

- Young adult literature with real-world themes
- Multicultural titles for pre-K–12 teachers & parents
- Independent publishers
- People’s history...African American, Latino, Asian-American, Arab-American, Native American, workers, women and more!
There are two locations: Washington, DC and Shirlington, Virginia. Busboys & Poets is a venture of peace activist and local businessman Andy Shallal.
