Volunteer Spotlight: August 12, 2012

Posted: August 12, 2012 - 1:37pm

The Florida Heritage Book Festival will mark its fifth year Sept. 13 to 15. Celebrating Florida’s rich and diverse literary culture, the festival each year features outstanding authors who live in or write about Florida.

Volunteers are the backbone of the Florida Heritage Book Festival. Their work and dedication ensure that the festival runs smoothly and attendees enjoy themselves to the fullest. It takes a community that cares about literature and literacy to make the FHBF a success. Interested persons are invited to join in this worthy endeavor to benefit St. Johns County’s libraries and The St. Augustine Record News In Education program.

The festival offers many volunteer opportunities for individuals as well as for book clubs, writing groups and school service groups.

The involvement of volunteers is needed throughout the year, while all the elements of the festival are being planned. Currently volunteers are needed with social media expertise, webpage experience and computer skills in Excel.

Also needed are individuals to distribute posters, brochures and flyers, and collect gift donations for the silent auction.

During the festival days volunteers will be needed to assist attendees, work in the marketplace where books are being sold and authors are signing books, distribute literature and many other important tasks.

To become a volunteer, contact Nancy Huppert at NBHuppert@gmail.com or call 315-2545.

The Florida Heritage Book Festival is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. All proceeds benefit the Friends of the Libraries of St. Johns County and The St. Augustine Record News In Education program. It is funded in part by the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council.
