Volunteers should be willing to volunteer for a minimum of two consecutive hours.
While librarians must be registered for the conference, paraprofessionals and support staff
who are not registered for the conference will receive a complimentary exhibits-only pass
with four hours of volunteer service.

If you need four hours of volunteer service, please check here:     

Are you willing to work at more than one event during the conference ?       

Yes     No  

Please indicate dates/times you prefer to volunteer.

Please rank  the assignment(s) of your choice, “1” being your first choice, etc.
Rank as few or as many as you choose. If you are only interested in helping with the Fun Run, for example, place a "1" in that box and leave the other boxes blank. If you might like to be a boothsitter in the exhibit hall as well, you would put a  "2" in the Exhibits box, etc.
