Distribute book bundles to Little Free Libraries in book deserts (books provided!)

As a book distributor, you will help promote book access by placing books in Little Free Libraries in areas where books are scarce. Your efforts will help ensure that readers in book deserts - areas with limited access to books - have the opportunity to discover and enjoy relevant books.

We will send you 3 bundles of books to distribute throughout 2025. After signing up, you will receive a book bundle shipment in July, September, and November. Each shipment will contain around 25 books. If you have additional books to share, you can add those to the books we provide. You can find book-sharing boxes in book deserts by using the search filter in our freemobile app. You can distribute books whenever it works for you.

Sign up on our website to get started as a volunteer.
