Bookseller
Our mission statement: “Be fair to customers and our employees, promote literacy, be kind to the environment and remain financially viable so we may continue.”
About the role
Half Price Books, America’s largest family-owned new and used book retailer, is looking for enthusiastic and motivated Booksellers to work in our fun, fast-paced retail environment. Every day, Booksellers engage in a variety of tasks, including delivering quality customer service, sharing their knowledge about books, movies, and music with customers and co-workers, operating the cash register, shelving new merchandise, and buying books from the public. Each day can be unique and filled with surprises!
We buy and sell books, records, CDs, collectibles, magazines, videos, DVDs, and games. We believe books should fill our lives, not our landfills, so we also strive to donate and recycle what we cannot sell. Most team members start as Booksellers, with opportunities to promote from within.
