In this edition of the Lunch & Learn series, we featured a virtual visit from Libraries Without Borders, an international NGO that provides access to information and digital technology to underserved communities. Jeremy Lachal, Executive Director of Bibliothèques Sans Frontières and Aaron Greenberg, Executive Director of Libraries Without Borders US spoke about their work building pop-up libraries for refugees fleeing the violence in Ukraine and for residents of mobile home communities in Northern Minnesota.
Jeremy and Aaron discussed the history and work of their organizations, and the innovative tools that they use to bring the 21st century library and its resources to people around the country and around the world – from refugee camps in Jordan and Bangladesh to laundromats in San Antonio and Baltimore.
