2018 Book Sale Volunteers

Volunteer With Us

We have a bookselling enterprise housed at Denver Central Library. We have a bookshop, a book donation processing center, an online storefront and two large book sale events a year. Volunteers and interns from Denver Public Schools help us run the bookshop and sort our books.

Red Chair Bookshop

We run a small bookshop at Central Library, Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Our collection is eclectic and in great shape. Proceeds benefit Denver Public Library.
