What are Lincoln Centers?
Lincoln Centers are partnerships between the Public Affairs sections of U.S. Embassies and host institutions. They provide access to current and reliable information about the U.S. via book collections, the Internet, and through local programming to the general public. Sponsored jointly by a U.S. embassy and a host country organization, Lincoln Centers serve as an information outpost similar to a public library reference service. The multi-media, book and periodical collections are open and accessible. Associated reading or meeting rooms are made available to host program events and activities (i.e. author readings, films, speaker programs, workshops, films, meetings, and exhibits).
The fundamental function of the Lincoln Centers is to make information about the U.S. available to foreign publics at large. At a minimum, Lincoln Centers should consist of a collection of books in English about the U.S. The book collection may include reference titles, works of fiction, business and government publications. Lincoln Centers also provide access to U.S. information through supervised Internet access, audio and video products, CDs, and CD-ROMS. Host institution personnel staff the Corners.
