LIBRARIES WITHOUT BORDERS US

Libraries Without Borders US revolutionizes the reach of the library. We move beyond the walls of traditional institutions to deliver essential information to marginalized communities. In laundromats, churches, and other local, trusted spaces, we develop innovative solutions to connect working families with books, technology, internet access, and learning opportunities. Libraries Without Borders US (LWB US) is the American branch of global NGO, Bibliothèques Sans Frontières (BSF)... In 2014, we set up our first pop-up library in a laundromat in the Bronx. Since then, we've created pop-up libraries in eight states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico... We bring library resources to trusted, local places. We take the institution outside of its walls to connect marginalized communities with the information they need to learn, play, and thrive.
