Staff Members

A group of ten people stands together on a small stage under a white tent at an outdoor event. They are smiling and wearing matching light blue "Bookspring Fest" t-shirts with orange bandanas around their necks. The backdrop behind them includes a banner that reads "Bookspring Fest," with playful, colorful illustrations of children reading. The group appears to be event staff or volunteers, and the setting is casual and cheerful, celebrating literacy or community engagement. The people are diverse in age, style, and appearance, contributing to a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.
