International Library Organizations

International library organizations are groups that connect libraries, librarians, and information professionals worldwide. They promote cooperation, share resources and knowledge, and support the development of library services across countries. Examples include the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), which sets global standards and advocates for libraries, and UNESCO, which supports literacy and access to information. These organizations help improve library services, encourage cultural exchange, and ensure that people everywhere have access to information, learning, and cultural resources, fostering global collaboration in the library community.
