Vancouver Island
Children's Book Festival

We have a great group of volunteers, but we can always use more!

Volunteer positions include help with organizing the event, assistance to organizers on the day of the Festival (including but not limited to setting up, directing and helping attendees, presenters, and other volunteers, and taking down), taking authors & illustrators to other events (eg, school and library readings), and more!

If you're a teenager or know a teenager who would like to help, we have "bookies" who help on the day of Festival with directing attendees, taking tickets, and other duties at the direction of the "bookie" director.
