American Corners Tajikistan
American Corners are partnerships between the Public Affairs sections of United States Embassies and host institutions. They provide access to current and reliable information from and about the United States via book collections, the Internet, and through local programming to the general public overseas or abroad.
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. English Language Learning materials. American Corners also provide access to U.S. information through access to the Internet, audio and video products, CDs, and CD-ROMS. The Corners are staffed by host institution personnel.
There are five American Corners currently functioning in Tajikistan in Dushanbe, Khujand, and Kulob and two more to be opened in Khorog and Qurghon-Teppa.
