VOLUNTEER COLLECTIVE SINCE 1979 - BOULDER, COLORADO |

We regret to announce that LEFT HAND BOOK WILL BE CLOSING this April. Our last day of business will be April 15. We do this with much sadness, and after a year of deliberating on our options and looking for solutions. The closing is necessitated by our inability to generate enough income to continue running the store (due to declining general sales and a marked loss of revenue from course book sales), and to burn-out on the part of some of us who have been doing the managerial work required to run the store.* =============================================================================== From April 1 Until Left Hand's final day of business, April 15, We hope you can stop by and find some exciting bargains. Also, if you are interested in purchasing any of the store's fixtures, please give your contact information to the volunteer staffing the store. |
| Left Hand depends on volunteers to keep running. We have a a serious shortage of volunteers at the store. The requirements are not onerous: agree with the principles of unity of the store, go though a training session of about one hour, make a commitment to volunteer for at least six months, and do
at least two (3 or 4 hour) shifts per month. Besides staffing the store,
the amount of your involvement is up to you: all volunteers are
encouraged to "adopt a section" and be responsible for ensuring that the
books in that section are kept in proper order. In addition, you can
learn how to receive shipments, prepare purchase orders, accept and
process customer special orders, and many other jobs that are involved in
keeping a bookstore running. Applications for volunteering are available in the store and on our web site -- click "How to Volunteer." Without enough volunteers, the store cannot function. Please consider volunteering to ensure the viability of Left Hand. |
Left Hand Books is now taking orders by phone! |
