IF LAUNDROMATS WERE BECOMING CULTURAL PLACES ?

This is already the case in the United States, where we created the Wash & Learn program in 2016 and transformed several laundries across the country into libraries. This initiative gives people in disadvantaged neighborhoods access to books, laptops and digital tablets while they wait for their laundry.

Augustin Trapenard, our sponsor, met our team in Baltimore.

Since 2007, Libraries Without Borders acts to bring knowledge to those who are deprived of it – from refugee camps in Bangladesh to rural territories in France – and make the right to culture a fundamental human right.

In thirteen years, the association has aided more than six million people in fifty countries.
