data entry for new bookstore

Celia Bookshop, a new bookstore opening in Swarthmore this fall, is looking for a detail-oriented person for short-term data entry work. We’re looking for someone to enter book titles into our inventory management system, Bookmanager, then create “lists” within Bookmanager by predetermined categories. It’s fairly straightforward and can be done remotely, but requires concentration and care. The time frame is somewhat flexible, but the first week (or two) of August is best. $15/hour.

Short-Term Rental

Clean, peaceful, comfortable studio apartment space above my garage available for out-of-town visitors or short stays. Kitchenette and laundry in unit. About a 10 minute walk to the college, 15 minutes to train station. Off street parking. Very private and quiet. No smoking, no pets. Please contact me for more details.

Subletting Apartment Above Hobbs

Hi, I’m interested in subletting my space in the apartment above Hobbs for early August to the 31st. The space (one bedroom out of 4) has recently been renovated and is the biggest room of the four. There is furniture: a bed, desk, dresser, couch and coffee table. I’m only looking for $600 (negotiable) instead of the full $650 for rent, and you must pay your own utilities for the month.

I’ve attached a photo of the space (mid-packing, sorry!).

Reach out if you are interested.
