Job Description
About Denver Book Society
At Denver Book Society, we believe something simple and profound: books make life better. Books can change lives, change communities, and—when we’re lucky—change the world. But just as important, we believe books are fun. Being in a bookstore is fun. And helping someone fall in love with reading might be the most fun of all.
We believe everyone loves to read. Sometimes they just haven’t found the right book yet. A true bookstore can help anyone discover the perfect story, at any time, again and again. That is what Denver Book Society exists to do.
If you share that belief—if you light up when you talk about books—then you will fit right in here.
Role Overview
Our Booksellers are the center of everything we do. Your main responsibility is hand selling, and we take that seriously. Our customers come to us because they want you—your taste, your enthusiasm, your curiosity, your ability to listen and recommend. We want you to joyfully share what you read, what you think, and what you love.
Your voice matters. We will highlight your reading through shelf talkers, staff picks, and other features that showcase your perspective. We want customers to see—and trust—what you care about.
We will regularly host events, and while you won’t plan them, we may ask you to help staff and support them.
You’ll also help distribute coffee, wine, and snacks. Everything is simple to serve, and no food or beverage experience is required.
There will be some shelving and minimal receiving tasks, but we want your time spent on what matters most: connecting with customers through books.
