[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I'm on the west coast now, but this might help you anyways.  My 15 y.o. DD is going to work at her school's bookstore this summer.  School bookstores are often active during the summer because they have to order books/supplies/trinkets and unbox them, price them and lay them out, and also deal with customers who are in summer school.

The reason we went in that direction is because her summer is cut up (she is a camp counselor for a week in late June, then in a summer class for a week in early August, and we go visit her cousins for a week in July)

The school bookstore knows that high schoolers often have cut-up schedules and so slots them all in...my kid can work summer week 1,2, 4, 5, 7, 10, whereas I don't think a local business would be interested in hiring and training someone with no experience, just for three months, AND someone who is in/out like that.

Anyways see if your school's bookstore operates like that, and if not, maybe the library.[/quote]

I don’t know any school around here that  anything close to a full fledge school store.[/quote]

Top PP here; good point; it does have a storefront with some pencils and school shirts etc, but I can see how many schools won't have this.  The part I'm talking about is the back part--the part where the school gets the books for distribution.  
Also, if your school doesn't have that, a local college will, and they might have flexible hours as they are also dealing with students.[/quote]
