Libraries Without Borders US

Through our partnerships, we empower libraries to reach the communities that need them the most. Sustainably bridging service gaps requires more than just provisioning resources or building new library branches. Effective engagement changes the dynamic between anchor institutions and the communities they serve, creating buy-in and a sense of belonging – and allowing previously underserved people to become stakeholders. 

LWB US builds custom strategies with libraries that meet a local need and leverage existing assets. Our collaboration with libraries includes needs assessment and asset mapping; deep canvassing and community engagement; project design and implementation; staff training; evaluation; and strategies to convert visitors to pop-up projects into consistent library patrons.
