Sponsored jointly by a U.S. embassy and a host country organization, an American Corner serves as an information outpost similar to a public library. The multi-media, book and periodical collections are open and accessible. Where possible, associated reading or meeting rooms are made available to host program events and activities (i.e. author readings, speaker programs, films, workshops, meetings, and exhibits). The fundamental function of the American Corner is to make information about the United States available to foreign publics at large.
American Corner consists of a collection of books in English from and about the United States. The book collection may include reference titles, information products from the State Department Office of International Information Programs, works of fiction, business and government publications.
