Librarians Without Borders

There are humanitarian and human rights organizations known as Doctors Without Borders, Reporters Without Borders, Engineers Without Borders, Architects Without Borders, Teachers Without Borders, Builders Without Borders, Lawyers Without Borders, Grantmakers Without Borders, Clowns Without Borders, Geeks Without Borders, Diplomats Without Borders, Mothers Without Borders, Basketball Players Without Borders and even Knitters Without Borders.

Now, Librarians Without Borders joins the club.

Based at the Faculty of Media and Information Studies at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) in London, Ontario, the humanitarian group's first project is to help develop a desperately needed medical and nursing collection at the state university in Huambo, Angola, a country that recently saw the end of a civil war that lasted almost 30 years.

The group will be celebrating the launch of the project in Angola on Friday, September 23rd at the London Public Library. (7-9:30pm in the Stevenson & Hunt Room of the main branch).

Anyone in the London/Waterloo/Toronto area who wants to attend should send an RSVP (with name, title, and organization) by Monday, September 19th to events@lwb-online.org.
