Book Lovers Needed for a Non-Profit Bookstore: Rabbit Hole Books

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Book Fair Foundation, Inc

  • 24 people are interested
RH Cropped

We could really use some volunteer help with Dayton’s favorite bookstore, Rabbit Hole Books!

We're looking for a few bookish individuals with retail experience (recent or otherwise) to volunteer one 3-4 hour shift per week. It would be especially helpful if you have availability from 4pm to 7pm. Ability to occasionally handle a heavy box or two is a real plus. Point of sale system is easy and intuitive. Book shop atmosphere is charming and relaxed. Minimum age of 16. Volunteers may be subject to a background check.

If you're interested in volunteering at the bookstore, stop by the bookstore and ask for a volunteer application form. We're located at 29 West First Street (between Main Street and Ludlow and across the street from Christ Episcopal Church) and are open every day from 12pm to 7pm. There is adjacent free garage parking.

Help Dayton Book Fair fulfill their mission to keep books circulating in the hands of the reading public, encourage literacy at all levels, and help keep Downtown Dayton alive and lively!

Mission Statement

"The mission of the Book Fair Foundation, Inc. is to receive and collect donated books which we resell through an annual book fair and other channels in order to raise money for a variety of charitable interests. In addition, we also redistribute donated books to schools, clinics, nursing homes, soup kitchens, the county jail, and other entities where books are needed."

Description

The Book Fair Foundation collects donations of books, CDs, DVDs, records, puzzles and games year-round which are priced, sorted and packed for our annual sale in November at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. Each year we choose three local non-profit groups to share from the proceeds of the sale. We have supported local groups for over five years; we have 45 years of supporting a single charity, for which we raised over two million dollars.
