American Corners are partnership projects with host libraries that give the Embassy the flexibility to provide effective programs keyed to our Mission goals and objectives, and to our local audience’ needs and preferences. The grantee will work closely with host libraries to identify local target audiences in each region and analyze their needs, as well as to plan and conduct PD outreach programs in close coordination with American Spaces Team. We expect the grant period to run from October 2020 through Fall 2021 (October – November).
