IBBY Children in Crisis
The Children in Crisis Fund provides support for children whose lives have been disrupted through war, civil disorder or natural disaster. The program is not only meant to provide immediate support and help, but also to make a long term impact in the communities, thus supporting IBBY´s goal of giving every child the Right to Become a Reader. For more information, go to the IBBY website.
IBBY / REFORMA  Project
USBBY and IBBY are working with REFORMA, the National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking, to assist refugee children stranded at the U.S. border. The Books and Backpacks for Unaccompanied Refugee Children project seeks to collect donations for the unaccompanied refugee children who have been arriving from Latin America countries by the thousands to the U.S.
The International Youth Library
​Munich, Germany
The Internationale Jugendbibliothek was founded by Jella Lepman prior to the founding of IBBY, and the two are considered "sister organizations." The International Youth Library is the world's largest library for international children's and youth literature. In 2011, USBBY contributed to sending the Lawrence R. Sipe Collection so researchers around the world would have access to this scholarly private collection.
The Ellis Vance Fund for Children in Crisis
USBBY is pleased to announce the establishment of the Ellis Vance Fund for Twinning. This fund recognizes Ellis’ more than two decades of service to USBBY,  first as treasurer and then for more than 15 years as Executive Director.  Although he is retiring from this position, Ellis will continue to serve as USBBY’s liaison to our Twinning partners and to IBBY’s Children in
Crisis efforts. This fund will help to pay the dues of USBBY’s Twinning partners who would be unable to be a member of IBBY without USBBY’s support. The fund will also support other needs of our Twinning partners and  provide funds to specific Children in Crisis projects.​
