We need your help to keep great books accessible to communities 24/7. As a volunteer, you would visit this Little Free Library in Topeka to distribute books once a week. This book-sharing box needs children's and young adult books of all genres.
We're looking for a volunteer who can commit to distributing books to this Little Free Library for 3 months. We can suggest free or low-cost sources of books - or, if you're a bookworm yourself, you can distribute your own. Approximately 20 books are needed each week, so anything you can contribute will be appreciated!
Register on the Little Free Library volunteer website to get started. If it's your first time signing up with Team LFL, you will need to create an account in our online volunteer hub.
After you register, we will send tips and resources. Little Free Library staff and the Little Free Library caretaker (the steward) can answer your questions along the way.
The flexibility can't be beat: visit the Little Free Library whenever it fits in your schedule, as long as it’s being restocked midweek. The steward of this book-sharing box restocks it on Saturdays, and is asking volunteers to restock it in the middle of the week.
Purpose: By keeping Little Free Libraries filled with books, you are helping to build community, inspire readers, and expand book access.
Responsibilities:
- Collect children's and young adult books from any genre
- Travel to the Little Free Library to distribute books once a week, in the middle of the week, for 3 months
- Use the Little Free Library app to check-in and track how many books you shared.
- Submit an Impact form in our volunteer hub at the end of the 3 month commitment.
Time Required: You set your own schedule. We're asking you to commit to just a few hours of collecting and distributing books each week. Restocking should happen mid-week.
Resources Available: We will help you get started with some tips for book sources and using our Little Free Library app.
Qualifications:
- Love Little Free Libraries and supporting book access!
- Willing to collect or donate books for 3 months
- Have access to transportation to take books to the Little Free Library
- Great at communicating by email or phone
Benefits: Experience the satisfaction of getting books into the hands of more readers. You’ll get a free Little Free Library t-shirt after you record your impact in the Team LFL online hub!
Supervision & Support: You can connect with the Little Free Library steward or Brianna, the Community Engagement Manager, to ask questions.
