    GYUMRI, JUNE 28, ARMENPRESS; US embassy public affairs officer,
    Kimberly Hargan officially opened today the second "American Corner"
    in Armenia's second largest town of Gyumri at the local branch of
    the Armenian Scientific-Technological Center.

    American Corners are small, American-style libraries created to
    help increase mutual understanding between Armenia and the United
    States by making a wealth of information about America available in
    different formats.

    This American Corner features a diverse collection of English language
    books, reference materials about the United States, computers with
    Internet and access to online databases, cd-roms, videos, and much
    more.

    The Embassy provided a grant to refurbish a room for the American
    Corner, installed three computers, and supplied the library with
    over 300 books, journals and current periodicals. American Corner
    librarians, trained and supported by the U.S. Embassy, are always
    on hand to assist visitors. The Embassy is committed to growing the
    American Corner's collection and keeping it up to date.

    The American Corner in Gyumri is open to the general public, free of
    charge. In addition to a being full multi-media reference resource,
    the American Corner will also host regular programming, including
    lectures and workshops, video series, and other activities focused on
    telling the story of the United States. In the coming years the Embassy
    plans to create a network of American Corners throughout Armenia
