Would you be interested in work as a part-time coordinator for one of Anchorage’s most important annual literacy events? 

The Alaska Center for the Book is recruiting for a coordinator to cooperatively plan and execute the Reading Rendezvous, a one-day event at Z.J. Loussac Library that kicks off the summer reading program. On one Saturday in May, more than 3,000 children and parents will attend the Rendezvous to engage in games and activities celebrating literacy and to sign up for summer reading. Vendors and volunteers will operate booths with reading activities, children will select free books, entertainers will charm the attendees, and a wonderful day will be had by all.

Details: Pay level of $3,000 for an estimated 100 hours of work performed from January through May 2025, with half paid in January and half paid in May after the event. Training will be provided by coordinator who held this position for past ten years. Coordinator will perform this work from home using his/her own computer and equipment. Coordinator will not handle donations or payments; treasurer for Alaska Center for the Book will perform these duties. Depending on success of event and coordinator’s interest in continuing, contract for services may be extended annually.
