Careers

Bookseller

This is a part-time position starting at approximately 16 hours per week, with the potential to increase to 20 hours.

​

Pay: $15/hour

​

We’re an independent bookstore specializing in fantasy, thrillers, and the occasional romance, with a strong focus on creating a welcoming space for our Bookish Friends. We’re looking for someone who loves connecting with readers, is comfortable working in a retail environment, and is excited to help customers find their next favorite book.

What You’ll Do

As a Bookseller, you’ll help with the day-to-day experience inside the store, including:

​

  • Welcoming and assisting customers

  • Making thoughtful book recommendations

  • Operating the point-of-sale system and processing purchases

  • Restocking, organizing, and maintaining displays

  • Receiving and shelving inventory

  • Keeping the store clean, organized, and welcoming

  • Learning our inventory and staying familiar with new releases

  • Supporting author signings, Bookish Nights, and other store events when needed

  • Helping create the kind of experience that keeps our Bookish Friends coming back

Who We’re Looking For

You might be a great fit if you:

​

  • Are friendly, reliable, and comfortable talking with customers

  • Have strong communication and organizational skills

  • Can work independently while also being part of a small team

  • Pay attention to details and take initiative

  • Are comfortable learning new systems and processes

  • Have an interest in fantasy, thrillers, romance, or books in general

  • Are available to work weekends and some evenings

  • Are comfortable being on your feet and completing normal retail tasks throughout a shift

 

Previous bookstore or retail experience is a plus, but it isn’t required. Knowing every fantasy series ever written isn’t required either. We care more about finding someone who is dependable, willing to learn, and excited to take care of our community.
