Since 2014, Bibliothèques Sans Frontières US has set up programmes in several states to provide disadvantaged communities with innovative educational resources. In 2023, it specifically focused on:
• Providing public libraries with support to ensure that inhabitants, and particularly those in isolated areas, had sustainable access to essential resources and information.
• Improving access to information about mental healthcare among the black community in Baltimore by distributing educational resources in hairdressers and beauty parlours.
• Working with communities in Loiza, Puerto Rico, to enable the documentation, preservation and transmission of their cultural heritage.
