About
LWB's mission is to address the structural causes of economic and human under-development through the promotion of better and innovative educative practices, providing access to life-long learning and training, helping disseminate information and knowledge, reducing the digital divide and promoting cultural heritage.
This objective is part of a broader approach to fight against all forms of ignorance and obscurantism. By creating and reinforcing libraries, training librarians, distributing books, supporting local publishing and designing library networks, Libraries Without Borders actively promotes access to knowledge throughout the world.
Our work in France focuses mainly on helping immigrant populations adapt to the local culture, as well as supporting underprivileged individuals on their road to social reintegration.
By providing asylum seekers with the means to communicate with their families and helping them organize spaces to be used as a libraries, we aim to create a place where they can express themselves freely and project themselves into the future. We also work closely with the homeless by creating libraries and information centers in shelters that host them in emergency situations (extreme cold, etc.).
