Washington’s first book vending machine opens for business this Saturday in the Foggy Bottom food hall near the I Street entrance. The machine holds 23 titles from DC-based authors across genres, from picture books to poetry.

Brookland-based author Lauren Woods launched a campaign last fall to bring this book dispenser to life. Inspired by similar machines in European train stations, Woods thought the convenience and curation of a vending machine could inspire literacy and bring some attention to DC writers. “Most people wouldn’t start a bookstore with just local authors because they think that will never be profitable,” says Woods. “So this is my chance to test that on a really small scale.”

Lou’s Buns was unintentionally started in 2017 while our CEO, Alexandria was in college. She made Cinnamon buns for a friend’s birthday and discovered a love and passion for baking them. Not to mention the fact that everyone loved them. Years later as a second-grade virtual teacher due to Covid-19, Alexandria planned on getting a part time job during the holiday season. She mentioned applying for a job to her father and he quickly asked her why she wanted to continue to trade time for money…one job was enough, why not start a business. From that moment with the support of her family and friends, Alexandria made it her mission to ensure that the world tasted “The best buns you’ve ever had”
