  If you love books and have a little time to spare, consider joining us! There are two ways you can help:
  
  1. Book Sorting
  
  It's fun, sorting times are very flexible leading up to The Fair, and you get first pick of the thousands of titles available. For new book volunteers, it would be our pleasure to give you an orientation to the book sorting system.
  
  2. Friday, May 3 (set-up) and Saturday, May 4 (fair day)
  
  We need help setting up books on tables, pricing, bagging, boxing, sales, security and assisting our customers in every way!
