Information Resource Center
American Corners
On March 24 and March 30, 2004 "American Corners" were opened in Narva Central Library and Viljandi Town Library. On April 13, 2005, an additional American Corner was opened at the Saare County Central Library in Kuressaare. This project represents an investment of over 300,000 EEK in each library, and months of close cooperation between the library staff and the U.S. Embassy's Information Resource Center.
Each American Corner has acquired a collection of approximately 500 new reference, fiction, and non-fiction books that span the broad range of U.S. culture and history. Furthermore, each Corner is gaining new subscriptions to U.S. periodicals, as well as a collection of videotapes and CD-ROM's. The Embassy holds occasional speaking events at these Corners as well.
