At Success Won’t Wait, we are proud to partner with Little Free Libraries across the country and have restocked them regularly for many years. We believe that the volunteers who maintain these mini libraries are truly hometown heroes! And now, these volunteer stewards of literacy will be celebrated for their incredible work, because nominations for the 2025 Todd H. Bol Awards for Outstanding Achievement are open!

The Todd H. Bol Awards for Outstanding Achievement recognize Little Free Library volunteers who have gone above and beyond in support of the organization’s mission of building community and expanding crucial book access. Inspired by Little Free Library’s late founder, Todd H. Bol, this award celebrates the power of individuals to change the world through acts of kindness.

Little Free Library volunteers may nominate themselves, another volunteer, or an organization that stewards Little Free Library book-sharing boxes. The deadline to submit nominations is Thursday, April 17 at 11:59 p.m. C.T. Only registered stewards who know their library’s charter number are eligible. Recipients of the award will be notified via email in mid-May.
