Bibliothécaires Sans Frontières

Bibliothécaires Sans Frontières was a charitable organisation based in France which provided books and support for libraries, mostly in the Francophone developing world.

Not to be confused with Bibliothèques Sans Frontières or Librarians without Borders.

It was formed in November 1999. Its first project, in 2000, was a youth library in Niger, followed in 2001 by two school libraries in India and a project to provide books to a Kurdish refugee camp in Iraq (ongoing as of 2006). Two other projects supported a university library in Russia (since 2002) and a youth library in Senegal (since 2005).

The organisation may have ceased operation sometime after 2007, when their website was last updated.
