Background
ReBooked’s retail bookstore in Central (address: 9 Mee Lun Street) is open from 12 to 6pm daily, and relies on the support of volunteers to man the store. Daily store operations entail the following: engaging with customers (checking out sales, assisting customers, etc.), limited bookkeeping, accepting and storing book donations from customers and organizing books on the shelves.English speaking ability is needed, Cantonese is a plus but not mandatory. Shifts are three hours each (12-3pm or 3-6pm). Schedules for volunteers are allocated at the beginning of the month. If you are unable to make a shift, please inform us at least 48 hours in advance.
What We Have
Prior to your first shift, we will provide training. We also provide you with an allowance for transportation and snacks.
Why this is important
ReBooked aims to be more than just a bookstore, ReBooked aims to foster a community of book-lovers, eco-friendly shoppers and families. Through our hardworking and friendly volunteers, ReBooked is able to reach this goal. Volunteers enable us to redistribute books to Hong Kong’s families on a daily basis, as well as collect books directly from those who no longer need them. As a ReBooked volunteer, not only will you be engaging with our ReBooked community, but furthering the mission of a circular economy.

What We Do
Started in 2019, ReBooked is a non-profit social enterprise that encourages sustainability in children's literacy. As Hong Kong's biggest bookstore for secondhand kids' books, ReBooked allows families and organisations to sustainably pass on their children's books. Donated books are either re-sold for a fraction of their retail price through our online or physical bookstore (9-11 Mee Lun Street, Central) or redistributed to beneficiaries of our NGO partners or overseas branches.
