AnarKIDS Family Space!
Walking around and looking at books and listening to grown-ups talk is only so much fun for the young folks, so come and let the kids play, read, or even nap, and meet other like-minded parents at the AnarKIDS Family Space. There will be kid’s books, cooperative board games, toys, face paints, craft and art supplies, and space to run around and play. There are also playgrounds and a large field nearby if you’d rather be outside.
*Please note: The AnarKIDS space not intended to be a daycare or a child minding space. There will be a volunteer present to supervise the room itself, to facilitate activities, help entertain the children, and to keep the room tidy.
Parents are welcome to stay with their children and informal child-minding is encouraged. (You watch my kids, I’ll watch yours.) Parents must stay at the Bookfair when their children are in the AnarKIDS space.
Volunteers
We would like to extend a gracious “thank-you” to everyone who made this year’s bookfair possible. If you are interested in helping out, please read through the volunteer section. Without people to help us prepare for the fair, keep the venue clean, welcome guests, provide our speakers and tablers with housing, and put on the Music Nights and Festival of Anarchy, we could never make this event happen. Special thanks to everyone who sponsored us with infusions of cash and food to do things like feed people and print this zine!
