Please be a part of this wonderful event by volunteering a few hours of your time between March 2nd and March 11th. There are volunteer opportunities throughout the community before the Festival (including several northwest and east side locations), as well as many exciting options for volunteering during the Festival weekend.

To sign-up as a volunteer, please go to www.TucsonFestivalofBooks.org and click on the word “Volunteers.” You will be able to select from numerous activities and shifts and then will be asked to complete a short application. On the application, please be absolutely certain to select Literacy Connects from the pull down menu under the question “Are you part of Literacy Connects?” so that we are credited for your time. We need to recruit 150 Festival volunteers this year!!

Areas that still need volunteers include:

*Venues (Main Mall) – This is a great job because you get to take in an author presentation while volunteering!!
*Set-Up/Clean-up (Main Mall) – Lots of fun and camaraderie!
– Thursday & Friday afternoons
– Saturday Morning – Help exhibitors get settled in quickly!
– Sunday afternoon – Still need 26 for CLEANUP!!!
