Calling All Book Lovers!

Volunteers are needed for the 2008 Twin Cities Book Festival! Held on Saturday, October 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, this annual celebration of books and readings features author talks and readings, children’s activities, a book and literary organization fair, used book sale, and book arts activities. The event, produced by the nonprofit Rain Taxi Review of Books, is free and open to the public. Volunteers are needed for set up and take-down, greeting visitors, and staffing author readings, Children’s Corner, and Information Desk. Shifts will be about two and a half hours, with plenty of time for volunteers to enjoy the rest of the Book Festival. Preparation information and brief training will be provided.
