PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY!

**Internationalist Books in Chapel Hill seeks vibrant, dedicated
idealists for three part-time coordinator positions!**

Internationalist Books is a volunteer-run collective, a not-for-profit
bookstore, a progressive community center, and community owned
cooperative. We provide new and used books and magazines on diverse
subjects from politics and current events to fiction, specializing in
hard to find, alternative, underground, small press, independent, and
nontraditional literature. We also sell sidelines such as
self-published 'zines, postcards, bumperstickers, spoken word CDs and
politically oriented T-Shirts. Read more at
http://www.internationalistbooks.org.

up different areas of the store. Coordinators will work three
three-hour shifts per week, one volunteer and two paid, for a total of

note that this is NOT a high-paying job; the compensation is more an
expression of appreciation for taking on responsibilities of an
especially dedicated volunteer, NOT a job you can survive on. All

-able to work at least 3 shifts (9 hours) in the store per week, one
volunteer and two

longer you can
commit, the more competitive of an applicant you'll be!)
-accessible by phone on short notice and living in the area with
reliable transportation
- at least 18 years old and legally able to work in the US

nonprofits, or bookstores is a major plus!
