Come work with us!

Calling all library lovers and book nerds! We are seeking a Book Buyer and Events Coordinator to join our Library Shop SD team. Would you be a good fit?

The Library Shop SD is a well-curated nonprofit book and gift shop owned and operated by the Library Foundation SD. It caters to librarians, library lovers, literary obsessives, and book nerds. We are located inside the Downtown Central Library and will soon open a full-service bookshop in the Mission Hills neighborhood. Proceeds support the San Diego Public Library system.

The Library Foundation SD strengthens communities by supporting excellence in the San Diego Public Library (SDPL) system through philanthropy, advocacy, and outreach. Library Foundation SD supports the entire system of 36 library branches across the City of San Diego. Our team of 16 staff members is based at the downtown Central Library @ Joan Λ Irwin Jacobs Common.

The Library Foundation SD is an equal-opportunity employer and embraces a philosophy where diversity and inclusion are core values. As the San Diego Public Library serves every citizen in the City of San Diego, so, too, does the Foundation. A broad understanding of diversity is employed that includes, but is not limited to: race, ethnicity, national origin, class, gender identity and/​or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, and religion. Library Foundation SD acknowledges that personal identity is complex and various. Library Foundation SD aims to facilitate broad participation, particularly by historically underrepresented groups, throughout the organization’s staffing and activities.
