Teen Lit Con 2024

April 27, 2024

Edina High School

10-3


Teen Lit Con moves to Edina High School in 2024! Join us for the biggest and best TLC yet! Nothing happens for this event without our amazing volunteers. Keep reading to find out more about joining our team.

Be a TLC24 Ambassador!


We are calling at book lovers, teachers, media specialists, and librarians to volunteer at the event. We need YOU to make this day a success for our teens.


Our volunteers, called Ambassadors, fill many vital roles; they may help out in the auditorium, hallways, at breakout sessions, in the exhibit hall with hands-on activities or book signings, and more!


Adults only, please. We want teens to fully experience the Con. 


MELSA Library staff please note: When serving as a Public Library Ambassador from a MELSA public library you are representing your library system. Therefore, MELSA understands you are on work time and have obtained permission to participate from your supervisor.


This form gives us the information we need to create the volunteer schedule. Please understand this is a long process. You will receive a confirmation of your registration today. You will hear from us next around one week before the event, with your specific schedule for the day.

Join the TLC24 Book Squad!

Book Squad


Book Squad Members are one of the most popular attractions in the exhibit hall, offering reader's advisory and connecting readers with books. 


This is a high intensity, fun, and beloved job at Teen Lit Con. Qualifications include: knowledge of middle grade, teen, and YA books, the desire to connect a teen to their new favorite story, and the ability to find the perfect recommendation.

FAQ


Can I volunteer for both Ambassador and Book Squad?

Yes, you can! We will do our best to accommodate you.


Do I need experience to volunteer?

Not to be an Ambassador, we will give you the information/training you need on the day of the event.

However, we do look for experience when choosing our Book Squad members.


Can I request specific tasks?

You can always ask and we will try to accommodate reasonable requests, but this is a big task to coordinate so many volunteers and sometimes it's just not possible to give specific assignments.


Can I volunteer with a friend or family member?

Yes, you can! We will do our best to schedule you together, but, again, this is a big task and sometimes it's just not possible.
