About us
Libraries Without Borders US (LWB US), the American branch of the international nonprofit, Bibliothèques Sans Frontières (BSF), strengthens equitable access to library and community resources. Our work centers economically disadvantaged populations, racial and ethnic minorities, and refugee and immigrant communities. LWB US collaborates with public libraries and community organizations to expand reach and utilization, catalyze community connections, and bridge critical resource gaps. By connecting community members to their public library, a freely accessible driver of community development, social inclusion, and equity, we support the development of stronger, more inclusive communities.
