Book fair volunteer signup

Cashiers and floor helpers across the fair's open hours.

Book fairs run on volunteers who can work a cash register and wrangle a crowd of third graders at the same time. Splitting cashier and floor-help slots per shift keeps both covered — and setup and teardown get their own days because they're the shifts everyone forgets.

How to run it well

  • Cashiers and floor helpers are different jobs — split them so each shift has both.
  • Schedule double coverage for the after-school rush and family night.
  • Setup and teardown are the hardest slots to fill; recruit for those first, not last.
  • Post the QR code at the school entrance during the fair — parents standing in line will grab a shift.

Why SlotsFilled? Participants never create accounts, everyone can edit or cancel their own signup from their confirmation email, reminders go out automatically, and the sheet prints cleanly for the clipboard crowd.
