- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Carpe Librum will be popping up in Van Ness for a fundraising book sale on Saturday, June 14! We will need volunteers to help us set up in the morning and box up in the afternoon for this fundraising event. This is a great opportunity to spend an hour or two supporting literacy and positive educational outcomes for DC public school students.
Can you lend a hand?
The first shift is from 9am-10am, helping to set up the tables and shelve books according to category.
The second shift is from 5pm-6pm, helping to pack up the books.
If interested, sign up via VolunteerMatch and we will reach out with more details. 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.)
