LOVE BOOKS? LOVE PEOPLE? WE’RE HIRING!

We are currently looking for someone to join our bookstore team. We’re a busy, energetic bookshop and café. We love books, great customer service, music, and the buzz of a busy store.

We’re looking for:
- Regular weekday/daytime availability
- 20–40 hours per week
- Someone friendly, dependable and comfortable in a busy environment
- A love of books and people
- Retail, bookstore or library experience is a plus, but not required.
We’ll teach you the bookstore side — what matters most is energy, curiosity and a great attitude!

Interested?
Take a quick selfie video telling us a little about yourself and email it to [email protected] OR drop by the store and leave us your résumé.

Come be part of what we’re building at Owl & Turtle!

We love hearing from the young people in our community—what they’re interested in, what they’re reading, and what they recommend. That’s why we’ve started the O&T No Grown Ups List. 📚 Write a bookmark recommendation and receive a reward! We’re currently offering a hot chocolate on the house with every book review. We want to hear from the young people in your life and encourage the next generation of readers! Shoutout to Kennedy, Miriam, and Daphne for writing some of our first bookmarks upstairs!

Let’s settle this debate: how do you pronounce Paul Doiron’s last name? This Thursday at 4pm, come enjoy the Art Walk and meet local author Paul Doiron with his latest release, Storm Tide. Ask the man, the myth, the legend himself: is it DOY-RON, DOH-RON, or DWA-RON?

The Guest Book by Sarah Blake — set on an island off the coast of Maine, this historical fiction family saga is one of Lisa’s absolute favorite summer reads. Soak up these last few weeks of August with a good book, a delicious drink, and a tasty treat here at The Owl and Turtle :)
