WE ARE SAD TO ANNOUNCE THAT, AFTER 20 YEARS SERVING THE COMMUNITY, ALADDIN'S LAMP CHILDREN'S BOOKS WILL BE CLOSING AT THE END OF JUNE.

Our GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALES will kick off this month with discounts of 20-40% on select sections and books.  Please tell your friends, and come to take advantage of our rich inventory of over 18,000 titles, and non-book items such as puzzles, puppets, Baltic amber jewelry, and more!

 

We would like to thank all our customers for their support, patronage and friendship over the years.   It has been wonderful being part of this community for so many years, and we will miss you greatly.

This makes me very sad too, Mike. We've been regular customers for the past two years--a must-stop after Tae Kwon Do, and a kid graphic novel fix for me. A great shop that will be missed. I am not looking forward to breaking the news to my daughter.

I've never been there (although it's pretty close to me) but it's always sad when a local store closes.

It continues to be a rough year for indie bookstores. It's sad to see so many good ones in the D.C. area closing.

Oh, dammit. This is three blocks from my house and the only bookstore in the neighborhood. We've gone to many events there and bought many books there and it's gonna leave a big hole that nothing else is likely to fill.

I'm sure a Starbucks will fill the void.
