American Corners are partnerships
between the Public Affairs sections of U.S. Embassies and
host institutions. There are over 300 American Corners all
over the world. They provide access to current and reliable
information about the U.S. via book collections, the
Internet, and through a variety of events such as public
readings, films, speaker programs, workshops, meetings, and
exhibits. An American Corner serves as an information
outpost similar to a public library reference service. The
multi-media, book and periodical collections are open and
accessible. Associated reading or meeting rooms are made
available to host program events and activities. In Poland
there are three American Corners located in £ód, Wroc³aw
and Gdańsk. |
