 | Our mission: The International Book Bank increases | |
| literacy and advances education by procuring and donating books and other educational materials to developing countries. |
| Our vision: Access to books changes lives. |
| Can a book really change a life? YES! |
| Watch documentary video from We Care in Liberia, | |
| who received a donation of books in 2011. |
| Listen to PRI's The World interview with William | |
| Kamkwamba in Malawi. Learn how he turned information from an IBB-donated science book into a source of electricity for his family's home! And William has now written a book about his experience, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. |

| The International Book Bank works with non-profit | |
| literacy programs in the developing world to supply them with high-quality new books and educational materials. Our books go to children, the ill, and the indigent, in places where there is no access to books. We help redistribute our great book wealth to Africa, Asia, East Europe, the Caribbean, Central and Latin America. |
