The Lantern is a unique bookshop located in Washington, DC, specializing in an eclectic mix of hardbacks, paperbacks, postcards, maps, vinyl, and compact discs. Since its inception in 1977, this volunteer-run establishment has raised over $730,000, providing crucial scholarships for students at Bryn Mawr College.
All items in the store, including books and prints, are donated, and the profits primarily fund summer internships for students as they navigate their educational and career paths. The Lantern's dedication to supporting women in their academic pursuits makes it a valuable community resource.
