Bibliothèques Sans Frontières (BSF), known as Libraries Without Borders (LWB) in English, is a charitable organisation with offices in France and the United States that provides educational resources for libraries, mostly in the developing world.

It was formed in November 1997. The organization distributes 50,000 books annually and developed the Ideas Box, a mobile library and multimedia center that provides informal learning opportunities to refugees and other vulnerable groups. Bibliothèques Sans Frontières has implemented programs in over 20 countries and received the Library of Congress' International Literacy Award in 2016. They are involved in the first mobile library project in Latin America, which will take place in demilitarized zones in Colombia.
