Washington DC’s literary bookstore Chapters is 20 years old. But to make it to 21, the store is attempting a radical reinvention. “Without help — in the form of a fundraising drive that will allow it to be bought out by a nonprofit foundation — the bookstore may have trouble making it to 21. The strategy is similar to that employed by the Avalon Theatre Project, which succeeded two years ago in reopening Washington’s oldest surviving movie house by converting it to nonprofit status.”
