Steemgig - Fellow people of steemit. I will pay 1 more of you in SBD's to donate books to your local Little Free Library (or similar organization)!
I love reading, it seems to be a dying hobby. I hope slowly that downward trend reverses. Because there a lot that can be gained from reading. Escaping to a different place for only a minute. Helping with grammar and speech. Making you step outside your worldview and think about things from a different angle. Things you never thought of before, that your reflections and experiences can add to and make your own. Epiphanies, ah ha moments. Laughs and just general good times! I want 1 more of you to help make those experiences possible for other people!
UPDATE:

I would prefer them to be donated to a Little Free Library. However if there is not one near you you can donate to any organization that will take the books and give them to people who could use them!
If you print and cut out bookmarks from the link below to go with your donations you will get an extra few SBD's.
https://steemit.com/steemgig/@drpuffnstuff/steemit-bookmark-collection-vote-on-which-is-best-please
If you choose not to print bookmarks please make a card with your steemit name and the date and take a photo or two of you with the card donating the books, otherwise just a photo of the bookmark in the book while donating. There is a link below of me making bookmarks and donating books just for reference.
1 SBD per book up to 5, but the 5th book will get you an extra SBD as well. (5 books - 6 SBD's)
+2 bonus SBD's for including bookmarks
Total potential payout is 8 SBD's x 4 for a total of 32 possible SBD's split between 4 people, just for donating books!!
When completed make a post with steemgig as the first tag, and leave a link to your post in the comments below.
If there is not a Little Free Library near you and you and you want one or you just want one in your neighborhood, I will pay you SBD's to build a Little Free Library and find a place to host it.. That is a separate steemgig, and the link is below
Upvote and resteem please! Comment below and tell me how I'm doing or what I could do better. Or just share your appreciation for reading and donating! Have a good one all!!
Great initiative! I will take up this challenge and report back shortly 📚🙂
Ok sounds good. Be sure to add a card with your name and date in one of the pictures if you don't print and use bookmarks! Thanks for helping, and for donating books for others to read!
Here's my contribution 📚

Awesome #steemgig @drpuffnstuff! This'll work for sure! Speaking for myself, as a present, free books are one of my favourites!
Resteemed^^
Wonderful initiative. We are fortunate to have a great local government run library system here but it is common to have a leave one take one system in some cafes and holiday resorts.
Cool @drpuffnstuff I really like your #Steemgigs! I'll see what I can do.
It can be any book right? I was collecting tons of them, I haven't read them all. All I do is lend them to my little sister for her to read. When I buy/find my books, I cover them sealed so they don't get damaged over time.
Ya it can be any booked. 6 SBD'sfor for 5 book donated plus an extra 2 to if you print and use the bookmarks.. I donated the Narnia series book and a classic collection with all the old classic. Ayn rand, a few books from the shanara series.. etc.. any books you choose!!
There's a donation box in our office that would go to Marawi, a province here that was occupied by rebels recently, you can check the news about it. Can I donate my books there? I'll try to find inspirational books for encouragement and moral support, that's what they need now. They won't have real use for my sci-fi books..
ya do it, and just take a picture or 2 showing the experience and post it up!
Will do!
You still going to try it. We have 3/4 done so far
I would love to. However, it's still Sunday here. Office is close. I won't be at work till 36 hours from now. I'd give this chance for others to join. I will still go ahead and donate some of my books and follow your lead in this! Thanks for the inspiration @drpuffnstuff!
Cool. There are bookstores here selling books for cheap. I can buy 2-3 books for 2$ worth. And for sure I'm gonna use my bookmark if I join this new #Steemgig haha. Although, the print quality of the ones you printed out were really great. It would cost me bucks to get that here in the Philippines.
I just went to the copy shop and they sized them right and I put them on 30 cent stock paper. If I was only making 5 it would have been a lot cheaper. But if you can laminate them it's alllllll good! Just do as good as you are can!
I'll see what I can do this weekend. Gonna have to get my wife @haneun on board and get permission to do things and have her take care of the baby.
I still need one more person to donate!! And also, I hope you had a good weekend yo!!
Let every good day
Comes another, even better-
Full of joy and pleasant events !!
Thank you so much :) !!
This is a great initiative that made me want to deposit books to a free library I have seen recently in my town ! I have upvoted and resteemed your post yesterday @drpuffnstuff and I will post later about the donation I made this morning, I will in a few hours as I have to go to work now.. ;-) Thanks much for the idea, I'm soon back with the link ^_^
Looking forward to it! I will be waiting and watching for you to post it! Thaaaaaank you for doing it! Did you print off bookmarks and put them in?! I guess I could wait for the photos to see!!
this is the link : https://steemit.com/steemgigs/@barbara-orenya/donated-books-to-the-local-little-free-library-in-answer-to-drpuffnstuff-steemgigs
Unfortunately I couldn't print your wonderful bookmarks, as my printer has broken down as I tried to, so I ended up doing the donation without the bookmarks ;-)
Thanks much for this lovely project I was happy to do and have a wonderful day ^_^
Great initiative! Wish there was one near my home. I've got tons of books that I'd love to share with the world. Its also fun to see what's in these when you do find one.
If you build it, they will come :) !!
I did recently buy a skillsaw (a circular saw where I'm from!) And do still have all my fingers... so its a possibility.
Haha I hope you are the guy to help with this. A skillsaw would make quick work of the cutting! And having most of your fingers is benifits but not necessary even :) !!
Ive still got all 10!
Shiiiiii, then you could make quick work of this! So long as you could find a place like a coffee shop or a private residence or something like that, that will allow it!
As a fellow bookworm,I applaud this! it is something I do occasionally,and also at the local library in the free paperback sect.
:-)

I love this initiative. Unfortunately, I've donated the bulk of my books about 2 years ago before I moved to Florida. But that doesn't mean I'm not building up another collection of books. :)
