Angola

Since 2007, Libraries Without Borders has collected books from institutions, publishers, and individuals in France. Organized and inventoried  by the team and by volunteers at our collection center at Épône, these books sustain our projects and libraries all around the world, from refugee camps in Burundi to rural areas in France. In 13 years, we have sent 380,000 books to 30 countries. 

More than 30,000 books are referenced in our online catalogue, readily available to libraries and partner associations of LWB. Others are resold as second-hand goods or during monthly farmer’s markets,  which help finance our actions. 

Since 2014, several libraries have been created in Angola thanks to books selected and sent by our team.
