Libraries Without Borders US (LWB US)

Libraries Without Borders (LWB) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan organization devoted to facilitating the growth of libraries in the developing world. We are currently active in 20 different countries. Access to knowledge is a key factor in social and economic development and by facilitating the growth of libraries across the globe, LWB aims to provide the knowledge that is the engine of human development. Libraries Without Borders and Bibliothèques Sans Frontières (BSF) form an international network of organizations working together to promote knowledge-based development in under-served regions of the world. LWB/BSF was established on the initiative of French historian Patrick Weil in 2007 in Paris, France.
