Every year, the Newberry needs volunteers to make the Newberry Book Fair a success. Volunteering at the Newberry is a terrific way to learn more about this unique Chicago institution while meeting other enthusiastic volunteers.
Shifts are available throughout the run of the event, and volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks including greeting, restocking, checking, and squirreling. Download the Book Fair Volunteer Handbook to learn more.
