Calling all amateur detectives! We are seeking volunteers to locate, photograph, document, and stock select Little Free Library book-sharing boxes in the greater Portland area. RIC Little Free Library locations are in Portland, Newberg, Gresham, and Beaverton. You get to choose which of the identified locations you visit.

Purpose: Confirming the locations and conditions of these Read in Color libraries will enable the Little Free Library organization to better support their stewards and the communities they serve.

Responsibilities:

• Visit Read in Color Little Free Library locations according to the route you have chosen from a list of addresses we provide
• Take a photo of the library (or the location where the library should be located)
• Note the condition of the library
• Note the library charter number
• Optional: add books to the library and check in to the library in the mobile app when possible
• Communicate with Little Free Library staff about the process, challenges, and questions.
• Complete the library locator spreadsheet with details from the libraries you visited by October 31.
• Submit an Impact form in our Team LFL volunteer hub when you’re done with the project.

Training & Resources Available: Registered volunteers will receive an email with instructions for completing this project.

Benefits: This is a flexible volunteer opportunity that can fit around your other commitments. You’ll receive a free Team LFL t-shirt after you submit your Impact form!
