Lincoln Property Company donated more than 2,200 used books to Turning the Page, a nonprofit organization which supports the public schools in Washington, D.C. The books were collected during a March book drive in partnership with the tenants of area buildings managed by Lincoln Property Company. They will be sold at Turning the Page’s annual used book sale, Carpe Librum, which runs from April 16 – May 3.

Our employees and the tenants in our buildings were glad to have the opportunity to give their used books to a worthy cause.”
