Carpe Librum will be popping up in Eastern Market for fundraising book sale on this summer! We will need volunteers to help us set-up the book sale (shelving books, etc.) and for helping to box up the books at the end of the sale. This is a great opportunity to spend an hour or two supporting positive educational outcomes for DC public school students. Our set-up location is directly off of the Eastern Market station escalators--address will bring you to the library directly next to the side of the park to find us.

Can you lend a hand?

The set-up shift is from 8:15am-9am, helping to set up books on shelves and tables.
The pack-up shift is from 4pm-5:15pm, helping to pack up books.
If interested, sign up via VolunteerMatch and we will reach out with more details. Contact Isabella at imuehlinghaus@turningthepage.org with any questions. If you’re interested in helping out at one of our other pop-up book sales around the city, you can view our sale calendar here: https://turningthepage.org/events/. Thank you!


(By the way, we’re not just any bookstore: we’re a fundraising bookstore! Carpe Librum collects donated books, CDs, and DVDs to support the DC nonprofit Turning the Page.)
