Gyumri American Corner, in Partnership with U.S. Embassy, Launches Website
On December 15, the Gyumri American Corner, in partnership with the U.S.
Embassy in Armenia, launched its first website:
http://www.americancorners.am. The bilingual English-Armenian webpage
provides information about the American Corner's mission, services, and
upcoming events. It also includes an electronic database of the resources
available at the American Corners in Armenia, allowing patrons to search for
materials on the web.
American Corners are small American-style libraries located throughout the
world that help increase mutual understanding between the United States and
the host country. A network of over 360 American Corners is operating
globally through partnerships between the U.S. Department of State and local
host organizations. American Corners provide information about America in a
variety of formats, including reference books, works of fiction, journals,
and videos. These resources focus on such topics as studying in the United
States, American society, U.S. history, conducting business in the United
States, and English as a Second Language. The Corners also provide computers
with Internet access, and offer a variety of public programs including
speakers and workshops. The American Corners are open to the general public
and access is free of charge.
There are currently two American Corners in Armenia--one in the Gyumri
Branch of the Armenian Center for Scientific and Technological Information,
and one in Yerevan City Central Library. The U.S. Embassy hopes to open
additional Corners in Armenia in the future. American Corner Gyumri
officially opened on June 28, 2005. This Corner currently houses four
computers with Internet access and over 500 books. The Corner also holds a
variety of public events, including movie showings, presentations by
Armenians who have lived or studied in the United States as part of the
"Armenian at the American Corner" series, and lectures by an American every
third Wednesday of the month as part of the "American at the American
Corner" series.
