Love Children and Books? Looking for Part-Time Work?

Re-Posting for our favorite local bookstore:


If you are available nights and weekends and like to work with kids, this job might be for you!

Because any employment decision is a very important one, I'd like to give you some basic information about working here that might influence your decision to apply.

I am seeking employees who are book lovers and customer-oriented. This is a detailed and sometimes physically demanding job. You will spend long hours on your feet. We hire part-time employees. Because of our extensive training, all new employees are asked to make a one-year commitment to Harleysville Books. I need colleagues who are available to work some evenings and weekends on a regular, not rotating, basis. I need all employees to help customers with book and gift purchases, to work as cashiers, and to help logistically for in-store and offsite events. I need employees that like to work with children, are creative and self-motivating.

Bringing books and people together is personally rewarding, yet working in a bookstore is not for everyone. You can expect to move into other areas of operation as opportunities present themselves and your interests and expertise develop. I see teamwork, book knowledge, computer knowlege, flexibility and, above all, customer service as critical elements to the success of this store.

There are benefits to offset the hard work. Employees become part of the community by working at their independent community bookstore. Renowned speakers come through the store. Employees receive advanced copies of books. Employees receive discounts on books and gifts.

If you feel that you can fulfill the requirements above, please apply for a position. Should a position be immediately available that combines your interest and qualifications with our needs, I will contact you. Thanks again for your interest in seeking employment at my bookstore.

You may download an application and return it to the store. Please make sure your information is legible and correct:  Join our Team!
