📚 Volunteer Call: Manchester Book Fest Needs You!

Last Updated 8/8/2025Posted in Downtown News, DMSSD News, Business News


We’re getting excited for the upcoming Manchester Book Festival on September 13 from 10A-2P and could use some extra hands to help the day run smoothly! If you’re available the morning of the event — or even at the end — and love books, community, or just being part of something fun, we’d love to have you on our team.

Here’s where we need help:

  • Directing authors to their assigned booths

  • Helping authors unload their vehicles

  • Watching author booths briefly while they park 

  • Assisting with children's story time 

  • General day-of support and troubleshooting

  • End-of-day help with breakdown and cleanup

Even just an hour or two makes a big difference — and it’s a great way to meet local authors, connect with the community, and be part of something special in Downtown Manchester.

If you're interested, send us a message or email [email protected]!


Thanks for helping us make Book Fest a success! 📖✨
