Think about volunteering from home.  Here's another view of our author gallery: all authors listed alphabetically.  Oh, no, notice how many (of our 2,351 authors cataloged so far) are missing pictures!  




Might this be your dream volunteer job helping track down author photos?  Work involves your computer at your home or favorite work place at the time, length and frequency of your choice.  Task includes internet research, sometimes contacting an author or publisher for permission to use photo, sometimes determining if an available picture fits LibraryThing's copyright guidelines.  Interesting and fun!
