On May 25, Chargé d’Affaires Kevin Milas, together with the Deputy Akim of Kostanai Oblast, Serik Bekturganov, officially opened the ninth American Corner in the city of Kostanai at the L. Tolstoy Kostanai Oblast Universal Scientific Library. “It is called a Corner, but it is rather a window or even a door to the USA,” said Mr. Milas. The U.S. Embassy provided the American Corner with reference materials, fiction and non-fiction books, CDs, and video resources that cover a broad range of American culture and history. Using these materials, the people of Kostanai will be able to learn more about the United States, study English, and receive timely information about U.S. exchange programs. The American Corner in Kostanai already offers regular language classes, movie viewing, and public events. For media coverage of the American Corner opening please click here.
