The American Corner program has come to the Library of the University of Kurdistan Hewlêr (UKH). The objective of this program is to establish affiliations between Iraqi and U.S. institutions and individuals that promote and facilitate linkages and relationships across a range of fields.
The American Corner @ UKH Library exemplifies that by providing a platform for educational programs and access to American print, multimedia, and other materials. It will run speaker and discussion group programs, film presentations, online engagements, and other activities.
In addition to serving as a general resource center, the Corner serves as a space for cultural programming, supporting English-language teaching/learning, advising about educational opportunities in the United States, and activities that inform and engage Iraqi alumni of U.S. government exchange programs.
One of the most unique elements of the Corner is its availability to the general public of Erbil and the wider Iraqi Kurdistan. It is open to you all for our events and general usage. You just need to turn up with photo ID and within our opening hours.
