Libraries Without Borders - The Ideas Box

As we all know, the Internet connects us with people that we most likely would have never met. Recently I was contacted via email (through a Google search) by Madeline Ochi, project management officer at the non-profit Libraries Without Borders. Needless to say, I was intrigued the moment I started reading Ms. Ochi's email! I then did my beloved Snoopy dance when she invited me to come tour their program "The Ideas Book."

About Libraries Without Borders:

Our mission is to expand access to information and education.  We create and support libraries, and most recently began to work in partnership with the UNHCR to provide refugees with books and community spaces.

It is through the support of author ambassadors that we have been able to engage a wider audience with our mission, and we would be honored to have you join us in our efforts.

This summer, Libraries Without Borders will be launching our first domestic project in the United States, partnering with the local arts –education non-profit, Dream-Yard to create a library and media center spaces in low-income housing communities for middle-school youth during summer vacation in the South Bronx, NY.

Looking forward to meeting Ms. Ochi in person on July 25th at Hayden Lord Park in the South Bronx, NY. It's sure to be an engaging and fulfilling day!

Thank you Ms. Ochi for this lovely and unexpected invitation!
