    Description

    Help out at a pop-up used book sale at Carlyle Crossing in Alexandria!

    Carpe Librum will be popping up at Carlyle Crossing for a fundraising book sale on Saturday, October 25th! We will need volunteers to help us set-up the book sale (shelving books, etc.) and/or box-up for this fundraising event. This is a great opportunity to spend an hour or two supporting positive educational outcomes in our local public schools.

    Can you lend a hand?

    • The set-up shift is from 9am-10am, helping to set up books on shelves and tables.
    • The pack-up shift is from 5pm-6pm, helping to pack up books.

    If interested, sign up via VolunteerMatch and we will reach out with more details. Contact Natalia at nporras@turningthepage.org with any questions. If you’re interested in helping out at one of our other pop-up book sales around the region, you can view our sale calendar here: https://turningthepage.org/events/. Thank you!

    (By the way, we’re not just any bookstore: we’re a fundraising bookstore! Carpe Librum collects donated books, CDs, and DVDs to support the education nonprofit Turning the Page.)

    • Saturday October 25, 2025 - 08:30 to 09:30 EST
