Get Involved
We would not be here without our community. So much of what we are able to do is owed to a long line of dedicated and talented community members who have donated time, labour and money to help keep us on the high-street. Check out how you can join in below.
Volunteering
Volunteers play a pivotal role in the operation of October Books and we are always looking for people to help out in various capacities across the business. At the moment we have several new vacancies, please click the button below to get more information.
Volunteers are also invited to socials and get 20% off books after completing five weeks of regular volunteering with us.
Book Buying Group
We always want to make sure that the books on our shelves are representative of the interests of the community.
In this spirit, the goal of book buying group is to gather together a cross-section of the customer base, and get input into the book buying process. If you are inerested in helping to curate our shelves, pop an email to jack@octoberbooks.org with the subject 'Book Buying Group'. The group meets every final Tuesday of the month at 5:30pm in the shop.
Alternatively, you could suggest indivual books using the form below.
Want us to stock your book?
Have you written a book and hope that we can stock it at October Books?
Before you send us anything, please check out our guidelines linked below. This gives a sense of what we are looking for in terms of content, and certain practical considerations.
Please don't drop books in to us unless we have asked you to. If we don't decide to stock your book please do not think this is a personal reflection on you or your work, we have limited capacity and can only stock so much.
