Vendor Registration is Now CLOSED

April 18, 2017MJ Moores

**REGISTRATION is now CLOSED for May 2017**

It’s official! All vendor tables for THE BOOKSHELF 2017 are fully registered. We would like to thank all those authors, artists, and literary/genre themed sellers who will be participating in a fun-filled day of fans, freebies, and finding new authors — we couldn’t do this without you.

Vendor registration for 2018 will open November 2017.

We hope that anyone who wanted to participate this year will still join us on May 13th to help celebrate Canadian literature and all things reading 🙂

In the weeks leading up to THE BOOKSHELF event, be sure to watch for participating vendor highlights on our social media threads.

Volunteers Needed

THE BOOKSHELF is a fantastic not-for-profit venue that works to unite readers with authors and provide fun reading-related craft items. It is our goal to help celebrate Canadian talent and provide a festive atmosphere where readers can meet their next favourite author.

However, events such as The Bookshelf cannot run on good-will alone. We need to rely on volunteers to help us both behind the scenes and on the day of the event.

This is an ALL CALL for EVENT DAY VOLUNTEERS 🙂

We require extra help in a number of different ways:

guiding vendors to their table during morning set up
helping return the space to “neutral” at the end of the day
watching vendor tables when someone needs to step away for a short period of time
assisting the Event Day Manager with the Welcome Table
handing out free prizes and giving away free stuff
letting people in the Farmers Market (at our booth) know what’s going on inside the Community Centre
advising author readers of when they need to be ready
running the beverage station and helping with tea, coffee, and water

As a thank you for donating your time, anyone who is able to help for 3+ hours will receive a free lunch from our Literary Cafe (located on the premises) and unlimited beverages during the duration of your aid.

We will need help at various times throughout the day starting from 7:30am – 3pm. Please contact the Event Coordinator at thebookshelf@wcyork.ca before Monday April 24th.
