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.
