Meet Libro.fm’s New Bookseller Hires

Coronavirus has led to hundreds of bookstore employees across the country out of work — and while the Libro.fm #ShopBookstoresNow campaign raised over $89,000 for local bookstores, they wanted to do more.

Libo.fm put out a call to hire 10 booksellers to work with their team remotely from April 13 through May 15, 2020. The response was overwhelming and they’re thrilled to introduce the new team members on the blog.

#SocksForBinc 

To help the bookseller community, Libro.fm has partnered with a range of artists to create 10 pairs of socks for book lovers. Customers can name their price (minimum $15), and 100 percent of the profits will go to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc) to support booksellers across the nation affected by COVID-19. Start shopping at Libro.fm/binc and find marketing materials on the Bookseller Hub.
