BookPeople is looking for seasonal booksellers!
Love BookPeople? Love books? Come work with us!
BookPeople is the largest independent bookstore in Texas. During our more than forty-year history, we have gained national recognition and become an iconic Austin destination. From our beginnings in 1970 as a small new age bookstore in West Campus called Grok Books to our current downtown location, we have always strived to be a space for the free exchange of ideas.
Our slogan is “A community bound by books,” and we pride ourselves in expressing our individuality and diversity through staff curation and impeccable customer interaction. Our diversity is demonstrated not only by our voices in the store but by the books on our shelves. Our number one asset is our employees, and their knowledge, enthusiasm, and expertise are invaluable.
This position will begin in mid-October and last through December, as the store is at its busiest. Both full-time and part-time positions are available, and some weekend work is required.
