What do volunteers do?

·         Volunteers are the heartbeat of JLF Colorado! Each volunteer role supports freedom of thought, access to literature and art, community building, civil discourse, and bringing together diverse perspectives.

·         Volunteers decorate and transform the library leading up to the festival, set up and transition venue spaces, make sure authors arrive at speaking engagements on time, provide customer service for attendees, take photographs, and more!

·         Volunteer shifts are 3-5 hours long in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Snacks and coffee are available for volunteers during the festival.

·         Volunteers can make connections, learn about authors and literature from around the world, and get involved in their international and local community all in one weekend.

·         Please sign up to volunteer by September 10 at midnight. Contact volunteer@boulderlibrary.org with questions.

We hope to see you at the library in September!
