Steward Book Directory

If you’re a Little Free Library steward in need of books, you’re in the right place! The Steward Book Directory below showcases opportunities for stewards to receive free books from individuals and organizations worldwide. Use the search bar and/or filters to refine the opportunities listed on the wall to meet your criteria. Please contact us if you need to remove or edit your existing listing on the directory. Please note this is NOT a place for stewards to list their libraries. Individual little libraries will NOT be listed on this directory.

If you are a publisher and would like to participate in a book giveaway of 100+ copies, please contact Margret Aldrich at maldrich@littlefreelibrary.org. View our publisher PDF to learn more about the ways we’d love to work together!
