Booky - Store Mascot

Join our Team as Booky!

Be Booky by wearing and performing in costume!

This is a fun and flexible opportunity to represent the University Book Store off-site at campus and community events—no experience or talking required, just a great attitude and willingness to have fun in costume!

Booky is scheduled to work the main events listed below. Occasionally, we'll ask if you're available for additional pop-up events—these are optional based on your schedule.

P.S. Booky isn't as athletic as Bucky—no push-ups required
