After four shipments of more than 55,000 textbooks and journals to universities in Iraq, we are saddened to report that "Books for Baghdad" books collection has been suspended for the time being due to lack of resources.

Books for Baghdad project has become a well known humanitarian project in Iraq and the demand on textbooks has increased. We have received many requests from the universities in Iraq asking us to support their education system. The fact is that we are a small organization and we have absolutely no extended funds to support the activity of this project. As a result, we are not able to satisfy the increasing demands and we cannot promise anything we can’t deliver. We would love to continue this project because we believe in it and we consider it a labor of love. We are waiting for the opportunity to come to allow us to restart book collections in the near future. However, other objectives of this project will continue, specifically helping the faculty in Iraq to establish collaborative work with the counterpart in the US. Books for Baghdad will continue to assist undergraduate and graduate students in finding a scholarship to come to the US and promoting partnerships with educational institutions in the United States.
