Les Amis de la Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), or Friends of the National Library of France, is an organization that brings together those passionate about books and knowledge who support the BnF through donations or membership. Their mission is to enable the BNF to enrich its collection with valuable items, ranging from manuscripts and prints to artists’ books, coins, globes, and ancient maps. Additionally, efforts are oriented towards enhancing the visibility and impact of the cultural projects led by the BnF. By doing so, Les Amis de la BNF help advance the BNF’s role as a steward of knowledge and culture, across generations both in France and abroad.
Les Amis de la BnF offer their members various activities, such as guided tours of exhibitions of the BnF or other partner museums, or exclusive behind-the-scenes visits of the BnF with curators. They also created the project “Adoptez un Livre” or Adopt a Book, which allows donors to pick a book of their choice from the written collection of the BnF. It will then be digitized thanks to their support and be accessible online, contributing to enhancing the preservation of cultural heritage.
