The AJC Decatur Book Festival is the largest independent book festival in the country. It takes hundreds of volunteers to put on a world class book festival. Join the volunteer team during Labor Day weekend to help show the tens of thousands of people attending that Decatur knows how to put on a festival! Volunteers receive a distinctive Festival t-shirt.

Many volunteer positions have already been filled but there are still numerous openings. Visit the website for a list of volunteer positions and job descriptions. Available positions include:
* Book Market on the Square Set Up - Saturday, September 4 from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. (great for groups). Volunteer early, so you can have uninterrupted enjoyment of the Festival.
