    Description

    Locate Little Free Libraries in Riverside & San Bernardino

    Book lovers around the world enjoy searching for Little Free Libraries using our app. We need your help to increase the accuracy of our map of book-sharing boxes!

    It’s very flexible: search for libraries whenever it fits in your schedule. For your convenience, you will identify the areas of Riverside or San Bernardino that are easiest for you to visit. This is a solo/independent volunteer activity (unless you recruit friends and family to come with you!). It's a great option for a self-motivated volunteer.

    Purpose: By increasing the accuracy of Little Free Library locations on our free world map, you are helping us to build community, inspire readers, and expand book access.

    Responsibilities:

    • Explore your neighborhood in Riverside or San Bernardino, CA using the free Little Free Library mobile app.
    • If a mapped library is missing, use the app to report it and share helpful notes. (We will reach out to the caretakers of those Little Free Libraries to follow up.)
    • If you find a book-sharing box without a charter sign, leave an invitation to join the Little Free Library network.
    • Tag any Little Free Libraries that need books.

    Training & Resources Available: We will help you get to know our organization and share best practices for visiting Little Free Libraries through our self-paced online training. We’ll also mail you printed invitations & envelopes that you can share with unregistered book-sharing boxes.

    Volunteer Perks: You’ll get a free Little Free Library t-shirt after you record your first impact here on the Team LFL hub! If you need hours verified for a service-learning or workplace volunteer program, Little Free Library can provide verification.

    Supervision & Support: Little Free Library’s Community Engagement Manager can answer questions.
