The Decatur Book Festival is still in need of volunteers for its Labor Day weekend festival. The city’s special events coordinator, Cheryl Burnette, sends along this note…

It takes hundreds of volunteers to put on a world-class book festival. Be a part of the annual AJC Decatur Book Festival by volunteering. We hope you will join us for this important event to Decatur and to the metro-Atlanta area. You will find a wide variety of volunteer opportunities to choose from at the festival, including Set Up, Close Down, Children’s Area, Book Signing/Author Talk Venue Support, and more. Visit www.decaturbookfestival.com for author information and a schedule of events.

You may also sign up to volunteer at the Decatur Book Festival by contacting Lee Ann Harvey at (678 ) 553-6548 or email .

I’m not sure which specific volunteer jobs still need filling, but the volunteer application lists a large variety of opportunities such as…stage leaders, greeters, talk/signing venue support, book market support, VIP reception assistant (I’ve gotta believe this one was already filled long ago), volunteer check-in…

I wonder why the DBF hasn’t posted this announcement on their own blog yet.
