A festival of literature from all over the world, ZEE JLF at Boulder promises to be an event unlike any other. Free and accessible to everyone, rich with words and ideas, the Festival invites you to join us in examining the human experience through the reflections and imaginations of distinguished contemporary authors from across the globe. In an uplifting celebration of the mind and heart, authors from the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Europe will take part in provocative conversations about life and society, economics and the arts, equity, freedom, and the care of our planet. In these critical times, the penetrating, intercultural dialogue exchanged speaks deeply to individuals and gives rise to the joy of community.

As a JLF Boulder volunteer, you will be an integral part of making these conversations happen. Volunteers are needed to help make sure our authors are well taken care of and arrive at their venues on time. Volunteers ensure that all of the Festival grounds are inviting, well maintained and ready for action. Volunteers will handle registration and information tables, oversee book-signing opportunities, assist press and media representatives, and provide support to Festival organizers in a host of other ways. A detailed list of volunteer tasks can be found below.

True to its mission to provide free, unfettered access to information for all, the Boulder Public Library will once again serve as the festival venue. Join us to participate in the greatest literary show on earth!
