Love Books? So do we! You should come work with us! BookPeople is the largest independent bookstore in Texas. During our more than fifty year history, we have gained national recognition and become an iconic Austin destination. 

Our slogan is “a community bound by books,” and we pride ourselves in expressing our individuality and diversity through staff curation and impeccable customer interaction. Our diversity is demonstrated not only by our voices in the store but by the books on our shelves. Our number one asset is our employees, whose knowledge, enthusiasm, and expertise are invaluable. We are known not only for our ability to help Austin readers find what they want to read now but also identify what they want to read next. 

BookPeople is a busy and innovative place to work. We host over 400 events in the store and around the city each year  (pre-pandemic!). We pride ourselves in being Austin’s bookstore and look for every opportunity to engage with the Austin community through our work in schools and with local non-profits.
