Program & Event Volunteer

Assist with program and special events: setting up and breaking down the room, registration, audience Q&A, book signing, photography, greeting attendees, assisting with activities, distributing materials, and other tasks. These programs and special events rotate between most of the 21 Libraries and may occur on weekdays, weeknights, or Saturdays.
