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

expression of appreciation for taking on responsibilities of an  
especially dedicated volunteer, NOT a job you can survive on.  All  
coordinators will work together closely to support store operations as  
well as carrying out duties in their individual field of focus.   
Current Internationalist volunteers will be given preference, but all  
applications will be reviewed.  If you?re still interested, read on!
