Leadership

In 2007 we founded a nonprofit that seeks to improve access to information, education and culture in the world.

We believed that access to books, to information, and to knowledge required a new kind of mobilization and innovation, and that libraries represented this future where, through the use of new tools and digital technologies, everyone could have access to culture.

We thus sought to reinvent the 21st century library in all its forms. Whether digital or physical, mobile or fixed, libraries give everyone the tools to understand and change the world.

I am proud of the results so far that have allowed Libraries Without Borders to play a novel and significant role in the humanitarian and international communities.

More than a decade ago, we were already driven by the ambition to create a library that would constantly evolve and reinvent itself to better address the major challenges our society faces. That same ambition is now shared by a growing community including our financial and operational parnters, our volutneers, our members and donors, our staff in our offices and those on the ground, of course, and all the individuals and organizations – more and more every day – who collaborate with us in a variety of ways. Together, we are inventing new ways in which libraries can transform and improve the lives of their users.
