There are many opportunities for volunteering at the Annual Conference in Anaheim. Local committee booth, silent auction, Scholarship Bash, etc. These are organized by the local committee, which is headquartered in the Anaheim Public Library. You don't have to work there to help; all librarians are welcome. You should be an ALA member, so make sure your membership is up to date. Contact Carol Stone, director of the Anaheim Public Library and chair of the committee, who can direct you to the appropriate volunteer chair.

In addition, you can register to participate in ALA's Libraries Build Communities project.

The Libraries Build Communities project began in New Orleans during the 2006 American Library Association Annual Conference, when ALA volunteers helped with project related to the damage inflicted by Hurricane Katrina. ALA members continue to volunteer to assist in cities where they meet for Annual Conferences.

'International Visitor's Center'

The ALA International Relations Round Table (IRRT) International Visitors Center (IVC) Committee is looking for volunteers to staff the International Visitors Center at the ALA conference in Anaheim, CA. IRRT sponsors the IVC for international librarians attending the conference. The IVC will be located near the exhibits and will be open Friday, June 27 through Monday, June 30, 2008.

IVC Volunteers assist international visitors by answering questions and giving directions at the conference (don’t worry, we provide all the information you need to help the visitors!). In addition to information, the IVC offers international visitors computers for email/Internet and a place to meet with friends and relax.

Working at the IVC is fun and a great way to meet a variety of people from around the world. All you need to be a successful volunteer is a smile and a helpful attitude! Please consider volunteering for a 1 to 2 hour time slot (or more!). To volunteer, please contact Jaclyn Bedoya at jaclynbedoya@gmail.com. We'll set the schedule in June, but please let us know now if you are interested in helping.
