PARTNERSHIP FRIDAYS

Please consider joining our partnership program to support underserved schools in Washington, D.C. We invite law firms, government offices, and businesses, and the schools they foster, to join us on a designated Friday to buy books for these schools. Patrons visit the store to shop from wish lists created by the school. We will donate 20% of all sales from the partnership to the designated school. This is a great way for schools to expand their libraries and receive additional funds. To schedule a planning meeting and book a Partnership Friday, please contact Heidi Powell, hpowell@politics-prose.com, or Mary Alice Garber, mgarber@politics-prose.com.
