Work with Us

We're hiring!

The crew here at Attic Books is looking for a new member. If you don’t know about us, Attic Books is a large second-hand bookstore run by a team of friendly, reliable, kind and hardworking people, located at the heart of London, Ontario in the Downtown core.

The position would be part time (2-3 days per week), with the possibility of more days depending on schedules. One shift will be for a Saturday, the other days can be more flexible. Currently we are open Monday to Saturday, 10 am-5 pm. We offer a workplace that has reciprocal respect and loyalty, an intellectually stimulating work environment, predictable schedule and of course, access to great books.

Wage: minimum wage to start ($17.60/hour). 


The job mainly entails:

    • Customer service and cash
    • Pricing, sorting and shelving books (…correctly- this is where a love of/experience with books comes in handy, although it’s not necessary)
    • General cleaning and grunt work (i.e. lifting and moving boxes of books)

Qualities that we are looking for in an employee:

    • Quick learner with a great memory and good organizational skills- this is probably THE biggest asset for this position
    • Capable and comfortable with both taking direction and working as a team. We are a small but mighty team of book clerks because we work well together. It’s a big store with a lot of books that are constantly being moved from one place to another, so communicating well with your co-workers is very important
    • Able to work independently and develop their own strategies once they are comfortable with the tasks, especially with behind-the-scenes tasks, such as putting away stock, filling shelves, packaging orders.
    • Comfortable with “downtown” atmosphere (and all that it entails)
    •  Able to provide friendly service to a wide range of customers and patrons
    • Bonus: comfortable with computers, data entry and/or setting up store displays

Please apply at 240 Dundas Street, London Ontario, N6A 1H3, by May 9th, 2026.
