On April 14, the U.S. Embassy marked the re-opening of the Yerevan
American Corner at the City Central Library's new location by the
Republic Square Metro Station (or some other description of the
location). The inauguration also marks the Corner's fourth year of
operations in Yerevan.
In her remarks, Ambassador Marie L. Yovanovitch said, 'The United
States has a longstanding commitment to spreading the ideas and values
of American democracy, and to engaging and maintaining an open dialogue
with people throughout the world.'
American Corners are small American-style libraries that provide
information about America in a variety of formats, including reference
books, works of fiction, journals, and videos. 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. A network of over 400
American Corners is operating globally through partnerships between
the U.S. Department of State and local host organizations.
The American Corner program officially began in Armenia in April 2005
when the U.S. Embassy inaugurated the first Corner in Yerevan. Over the
past four years, over 35,000 people have visited the corner. Additional
Corners are located in Gyumri, Vanadzor and Kapan.
