About

We need your help to keep great books accessible to communities 24/7. Visit Little Free Libraries in Central New York to distribute books! 

The local CNY Little Free Libraries & Team LFL Central New York group will provide books for distribution. If you have some of your own books to share, you can add those too. The local volunteer leader, Jodi, can work with you to arrange book pickup - or you can pick up books at one of the group's monthly gatherings. You can find book-sharing boxes near you using our world map or free mobile app. 

Volunteers over 18 can register for this opportunity. 

Register here to get started. If it's your first time signing up with Team LFL, you will be prompted to create an account in our volunteer hub. Once you sign up, you will get access to tips & resources that you review independently online. Local volunteers can help answer your questions by email. You can share books whenever it works for you.
