Festival of Books Volunteer Program
The Festival of Books began in 1996 with a simple goal: Bring together the people who create books and the people who love to read them. The Festival was an immediate success and has become Southern California's major literary event. The seventeenth annual edition of the Festival of Books will be held on Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22 and we would love to have you join us as a volunteer. Last year 140,000 people attended the Festival, which featured over a hundred ticketed author events, children’s storytelling, poetry readings, book signings and nearly 500 exhibitor booths. The Festival’s success has been due in part to the generous assistance of volunteers who welcomed attendees, assisted with registration, staffed author events, supervised book signings and much more. Pre-registered volunteers have been sent maps, parking passes and iniformation about orientation via U.S. Mail. If you've pre-registered and not yet received these - please email us at festivalofbooks@troutco.com. Note: The deadline for pre-registering as a volunteer was April 6 and at this time we have sufficient volunteers for the event and are no longer pre-registering volunteers online. It's inevitable however, that there will be no-shows and so we always welcome folks who show up at the volunteer center and wish to volunteer. On either Saturday, April 20 or Sunday April 21 please come in and register at the event Volunteer Center located on the 2nd floor of USC's Davidson Conference Center. We welcome walk-in volunteers between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and will register you, give you a t-shirt, lunch and an assignment on a space available basis. (It's rare we ever turn anyone away!) Further information about the Festival of Books and other L.A. Times events is available on the Los Angeles Times Signature Events page. For any specific volunteer-related questions, e-mail Larry Deckel, Volunteer Coordinator. If you are have already pre-registered and find you are unable to attend and must cancel as a volunteer, please email us as far in advance as possible and let us know so we can offer your space to someone else! Looking forward to seeing you at the Festival of Books in 2012. Larry Deckel
