Little Free Library

We need your help to keep great books accessible to communities 24/7. As a volunteer, you will 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!

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.

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.
