About Us
With staff based in Washington D.C. and around the world, the WBG Library supports the global generation and dissemination of knowledge. We are not open to public , but we actively contribute to the global library community. The WBG Library is also part of the IMF and WBG Library Network.
Active since the 1940s, the library continues to provide research expertise and personalized services that support current business objectives. Our development collections emphasize topics aligned with the Bank's mission, interests, and history, aiming to contribute to our goal of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity on a livable planet.
We support WBG staff. Limited services are available for spouses, partners, retirees, and the general public.
