JHBF is a free, community event powered entirely by the enthusiasm of volunteers like you. Whether you love meeting readers, chatting about books, or working behind the scenes, there’s a place for you here.
Ways to get Involved
No experience needed — just a love of books and a willingness to show up.
Greet Attendees
Building deeper connection through the written word helps to strengthen our community, as we find common ground through civilized conversation and the sharing of ideas.
Room Host
Introduce authors, manage Q&A sessions, and help each event run smoothly. Up-close access to all the best conversations.
Book Sale Staff
Help readers find their next favorite book, assist with purchases, and keep the shelves stocked and looking great.
And More
Celebrate and pay tribute to this year’s writers and thinkers who will bring their wisdom and creativity to Jackson for a full day of Conversation for the Community.
