American Corner is opened in Kragujevac on May 6, 2005. This project is the result of cooperation between the Public Library “Vuk Karadzic” in Kragujevac and the Public Affairs Office of the US Embassy in Belgrade.
The Corners are small, American-style libraries created to increase mutual understanding between Serbia & Montenegro and the United States by making available information about America in a variety of formats. We offer books, videos, CD-ROMs, Internet Access, various programs and professional bilingual librarians trained to help you find the desired information about the United States.
