Make a Difference | Volunteer at the 2019 Youth Literature Festival!
The Youth Literature Festival brings award-winning authors of youth literature to our area schools in a three-day event that culminates with the free Community Day celebration where author presentations, books signings, puppet shows, music, activities for kids, and more happen. This event is free and open to the public.
We invite you to volunteer with us during this great event. We will need many hands to welcome the more than 1,500 attendees anticipated to attend. The biannual Festival aims to create and cultivate the love of reading in the lives of children and youth around Illinois schools and our community.
If you are interested in volunteering, please, take a few minutes complete the form and indicate your interest for the tasks you would like to participate.
