American Corners: Bringing America’s Message to the World

American Corners are dedicated information spaces hosted in schools, libraries, and other partner institutions worldwide. These partnerships help introduce visitors to the true story of the United States by providing a multifunctional platform for public diplomacy programs and offering access to print, multimedia, and other materials.  The American Corners help maintain open dialogue, counteract negative preconceptions, and build bridges of understanding. They represent the nation’s long-standing commitment to spread the ideas and values of American democracy and civil society.
