    Description

    Pack book bundles for Little Free Library stewards

    Help Little Free Library expand book access by volunteering at our book packing event in St. Paul, MN!

    You will pack boxes of books that will be shipped to Little Free Library community partner organizations across the U.S. to help stewards stock their book-sharing boxes and keep books accessible in their community. No experience necessary - we will walk you through the steps for sorting books and packing boxes.

    Volunteers will also pack a bundle of books that they can take home and distribute to Little Free Libraries in their own neighborhoods.

    While you’re volunteering, you will learn more about the history and impact of Little Free Libraries and how you can continue to support this network of book-exchange boxes after the event.

    What you’ll do:

    • Unload used books from large shipping containers
    • Assess books to make sure they are in good condition
    • Pack boxes full of books. Seal and label boxes to prepare for shipping.
    • Create your own bundle of books to take home and distribute to Little Free Libraries near you
