	As a program that began just after WW II to replace American books destroyed during the war, the Books Across the Sea project today fulfills the English-Speaking Union's goals through the written word. There are three parts to Books Across the Sea project:

	Ambassador Book Award Given annually to authors whose works have made an exceptional contribution to interpreting the life and culture of the United States to other English-speaking people.

	Books As Envoys Titles that receive an Ambassador Book Award are sent to ESU branches overseas for a variety of uses.

	Ruth M. Shellens Memorial Library Housed at ESU's National Headquarters in New York City, the collection boasting more than 4,000 volumes that focus on the culture and history of the United Kingdom.
