Call for Volunteers
Making the Iowa City Book Festival a successful community event takes the work of dozens of volunteers. So we're asking for your help on Saturday, July 16 and Sunday, July 17.
On Saturday, July 16, volunteers will set up tables and chairs in Gibson Square, work in the Information Tent, escort authors to their programs, provide booth relief for vendors, sell bottled beverages, serve as venue ambassadors and in general direct people to programs and activities.
On Sunday, July 17, volunteers can work in the Host Venue as program ambassadors who welcome the author, introduce the program (from a provided script), count the attendees and keep track of the schedule (each timeslot is for one program). Volunteers may choose to work in the Information Booth set up on Downtown Pedestrian Mall answering questions and directing people. Finally volunteers may help with The Hunger Games teen event on Gibson Square.
All volunteers will receive and Iowa City Book Festival volunteer t-shirt.
