The Novel Refuge

Silver Spring, MD

Woman-Owned

We are a nonprofit 100% volunteer-run used bookseller. All our profits support the local refugee and immigrant community in the Washington, DC metro area, primarily Montgomery and Prince George's Counties in Maryland. We are currently hosting pop-up booksales and fundraising events, but will have a retail space by Fall 2024.
